Hi there,
There are a few things that I could suggest here:
- Upgrade your server so that you could have some more RAM to handle the traffic
- Add a swap file so you could have an extra buffer
- After you’ve added the extra memory and swap, try tweaking your MySQL service for better performance and reliability as described here
- Consider using a Managed MySQL cluster rather than a MySQL server running on your Droplet directly:

Let me know how it goes!
Best,
Bobby
