title: How to use Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql provider for ef core 3 in async mode properly?
body: <p>We are building an asp.net core 3 application which uses ef core 3.0 with Pomelo.EntityFrameworkCore.MySql provider 3.0. </p>
  
  <p>Right now we are trying to replace all database calls from sync to async, like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>//from
  dbContext.SaveChanges();
  //to
  await dbContext.SaveChangesAsync();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Unfortunetly when we do it we expereince two issues:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Number of connections to the server grows significatntly compared to the same tests for sync calls</li>
  <li>Average processing speed of our application drops significantly</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p><strong>What is the recommended way to use ef core with mysql asynchronously?</strong> Any working example or evidence of using ef-core 3 with MySql asynchonously would be appreciated.</p>
