Curious why you bothered with pgBouncer for 200 queries per day? Just future proofing?

EDIT: forgot, pgBouncer also allows you to do hitless restart/upgrade, which is useful at any query volume I suppose ;)

Indeed.

Also the server the DB is on is RAM constrained. And Postgres making a process per connection brings it right down versus using pgBouncer to pool connections.

It seems complicated but it's actually quite simple.
