I have a sports-based WordPress site that shows live score data for matches. The functionality is that the data is pulled from an API stored in a DB table and then the data is updated on the wp end via a script. (This happens every 60 seconds)
My issue is that when I have 200 matches updating the site crashes… The error is usually about max connections to the DB. I have updated the max connections to 500 but this does not help…
This could have been a design flaw. So I am kind of just asking for advice on how I should handle this situation even if it means changing the functionality.
Thanks
