Document migration from pids_limit to mem_limit for Docker deployments#8695
Conversation
Add note explaining why pids_limit was removed in favor of mem_limit. PostgreSQL's one-process-per-connection model caused production failures with pids_limit: 100, restricting deployments to ~90-95 concurrent connections. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
