The update frequency of Firebird isn't really high and I must assume you
need to plan for downtime anyway for OS updates etc. Firebird 3.0.1 is
almost 3 years old now (even 3.0.4 is almost one year old by now).
Upgrading Firebird 3.0.1 to a higher 3.0 version is a drop in
replacement (no backup and restore is necessary).

Although keeping the client libraries up-to-date is advisable, updating
the server doesn't require updating your clients at the same time. Older
Firebird clients (eg from 2.5 or 2.1, in theory even 1.0 although I
haven't verified that) can also still connect, but you'll need to
disable wire encryption and make sure that user is created with legacy_auth.

Your previous message said you were using SuperServer. Are you using
ClassicServer instead? That difference is rather important for your problem.

With SuperServer this is probably fine (256 megabytes per database),
with ClassicServer or SuperClassic, this requires 256 megabytes per
connection.

If you are using SuperServer right now, and you want to switch to
ClassicServer, you should change the page buffer settings of your database.
