Monitoring PgBouncer in Azure PostgreSQL Flexible Server
by Guest varun-dhawan- 0 replies
- 0 views
PgBouncer is widely used with Postgres to provide connection pooling. It is an easy-to-use and easy-to-install piece of software.

A typical configuration is to set PgBouncer to transaction mode. This allows PgBouncer to multiplex the “real” connections to Postgres as transactions are committed or rolled back. Azure Database for PostgreSQL – Flexible Server offers PgBouncer as a built-in option, wherein customers can easily enable PgBouncer from Azure Postgres server parameters and update the app connection string to tal…
