+### Temporal DB
+
+Temporal maintains multiple idle connexions. By the default value is `20` and you may want to lower or increase this number. One issue we noticed is
+that temporal creates multiple pools and the number specified in the `SQL_MAX_IDLE_CONNS` environment variable of the `docker.compose.yaml` file
+might end up allowing 4-5 times more connexions than expected.
+
+If you want tho increase the amount of allowed idle connexion, you will also need to increase `SQL_MAX_CONNS` as well because `SQL_MAX_IDLE_CONNS`
+is capped by `SQL_MAX_CONNS`.
