AWS RDS connection spike during backup
Since last 2 days I have been observing a huge spike in the DB connections in RDS during the backup time
Only message I see in the events is -
DB Instance aa********* contains MyISAM tables that have not been migrated to InnoDB. These tables can impact your ability to perform point-in-time restores. Consider converting these tables to InnoDB. Please refer to http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Overview.BackingUpAndRestoringAmazonRDSInstances.html#Overview.BackupDeviceRestrictions

MyISAM tables do not have row-level locks, so the whole table has to be locked during the backup. This may cause some peeks. At that page you provided you can read: "For the MySQL DB engine, automated backups are only supported for the InnoDB storage engine. Use of these features with other MySQL storage engines, including MyISAM, can lead to unreliable behavior while restoring from backups. Specifically, since storage engines like MyISAM don't support reliable crash recovery, your tables can be corrupted in the event of a crash." This explains the message you are getting.
