Hi,
Our app was bottlenecking and returning timeout error at peak traffic. I was able to solve the issue by increasing cpu and memory limit + increasing the number of db connections in our values.yaml file. I left rate limit values to default.

CPU and Memory

  resources:
    limits:
      cpu: 3000m 
      memory: 2Gi     
    requests:
      cpu: 1500m      
      memory: 1Gi

I found out that you can modify the limit of database connections in your databaseUrl:
postgresql://name:password@host.net:port/dhname?schema=hps&connection_limit=20
You can verify this in packages/hoppscotch-backend/src/prisma/prisma.service.ts
