As an engineer, I would say this problem is already solved with connection pooling, but that's not why I'm reaching out. I'm still at an early stage, but I made the same mistake of assuming I could overcome product fit, marketing, sales with technology. I made the assumption I could overwhelmingly overcome these things with great tech. This isn't the reality of the situation. What you need to do is engage your potential customers and get feedback, then simplify or specialize, and pivot your idea or solution. Getting feedback is critical. After doing this my ideas went from highly specialized and hard to explain to flexible and easy to understand. Eventually I was able to find a fit, but I'm still operating under this feedback loop. I would get a job just for a break and then double back.
