  • Next.js

    The React Framework

  • I've read people saying something about "caching" the mongodb connection, I'm not sure I totally understand how it works, but it seems like the kind of thing that could solve the issue?

  • serverless-mysql

    A module for managing MySQL connections at SERVERLESS scale

  • Tl;dr: You need to make sure that a serverless function doesn't instantiate a new connection. For MYSQL, there is serverless-mysql. I don't have experience with MongoDB sadly, but the caching seems to be on the right track.
