is this for microservice scenarios where you gate access to the psql server through a connection pool thing? because if there is monolithic backend this is not needed. most decent backend frameworks have built-in connection pooling. that covers 98% of use cases for which microservices are not needed, nor recommended.

if your backend app is one big binary per host? Sure.

But if your backend app is a shared nothing fork of many processes then this is surely needed.

didn't that end with the cgi era? what is going on :)
