Cool work, thanks.

Wrt. the pooler, how do you compare with pgbouncer?

I'm interested because I have a postgres instance, low-traffic but still like ... tens of r(eads)ps. I was not running anything close to the machine limits but still added pgbouncer to improve performance and didn't see a noticeable difference. I was stress-testing the machine obv., I'm not talking about the 10 rps, lol.

For context, my numbers were something like 10k rps +/- 1k vanilla postgres and like 9k rps +/- 1k with pgbouncer in front of it. So ... slightly slower but big error bars so I wouldn't say for sure. I ended up not using pgbouncer as the benefit was immaterial.

Also yeah, in case you want to check it out, it's the db that backs this project: https://httpstate.com.
