[Question posted by a user on YugabyteDB Community Slack]
What is the parameter that controls the maximum number of connections per tserver for ycql? I am looking at the equivalent of --ysql_max_connections which is having a default of 300. Is it applicable for YCQL also?
There is no way to limit connections on YCQL on the server-side. But YCQL connections are multi-plexed, therefore you don't need many. Are you sure you have 300 ycql connections on the server? If yes, how many client-apps processes & servers are you starting and in what language? You may need at most 2-4 connections for each client-process. Some docs on configuring connections on the client side: https://support.yugabyte.com/hc/en-us/articles/4417928616845-How-to-configure-max-connections-in-YCQL-and-YSQL.
