Set conn_max_age=0 in database configuration to disable persistent connections, as recommended by Django documentation for ASGI applications. This prevents connection pool exhaustion and resource contention issues when handling many concurrent async connections.

Summary
conn_max_age=0in database configuration to disable persistent connectionsBackground
