PgBouncer

Lightweight connection pooler for PostgreSQL

Notes

• This template assumes you have a database named Postgres in your project before deploying this template, if this isn't the case please adjust the reference variables so they reference the correct namespace.

pgbouncer is a PostgreSQL connection pooler. Any target application can be connected to pgbouncer as if it were a PostgreSQL server, and pgbouncer will create a connection to the actual server, or it will reuse one of its existing connections.

The aim of pgbouncer is to lower the performance impact of opening new connections to PostgreSQL.

In order not to compromise transaction semantics for connection pooling, pgbouncer supports several types of pooling when rotating connections.

Extra configurations can be done with the environment variables found on bitnami's pgbouncer image overview page
