After updating our Dotnet API from dotnet 6 to 8 the connection-attemps on AWS RDS increased significantly (see attached picture).
The API is running in a docker-container. We use a MYSQL RDS instance t4g-large the engine version is 8.0.mysql_aurora.3.04.3
The API uses the Pomelo adapter. This was not changed or touched at all.
The context is injected as supposed to.
(services.AddDbContext<T>)
The issue happened on three deployed applications all using MYSQL-Instances. The update only included the framework update and some nuget package updates in regards to dotnet-8.
I also tried using the services.AddDbContextPool which helped a bit but not as much as I hoped.
