You may scale horizontally and have many instances. And you don’t need a physical database instance per service.

AWS also has a proxy aws.amazon.com/rds/proxy/

Scalable Applications - Amazon RDS Proxy - AWS

Amazon RDS Proxy improves database efficiency and application scalability by allowing applications to pool and share connections established with the database.

Simon Martinelli @martinelli.ch · 5d

The database has limited number of connections and if you have a microservices or serverless architecture you could have multiple instances of your service that would result in too many connections

For PostgreSQL there is PgBouncer and Oracle has CMAN.

Safe travels guys ✈️
