On-topic tangent: reminder or heads-up (depending on if you’ve already seen this) that Postgres is experimenting with thread-based instead of process-based connections (which would pretty much obviate the need for pgBouncer if it works out and becomes the connection model going forward).

HN discussion from a few months ago, with lots of commentary relevant to any pgBouncer scenarios: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36393030

I follow the PG world very closely and would like to add that Postgres community essentially "soft" turned that down and its not going to be a thing any time soon, like in the next five years at least.

I’m wondering if they’ve considered less radical solutions? Something like adding a new thread-based front end to Postgres itself while keeping the processes, and then gradually fixing whatever makes that less than seamless.
