Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about PgBouncer implementation and optimization.

What makes PgBouncer different from other connection poolers?
PgBouncer is specifically designed for lightweight, high-performance connection pooling with minimal resource usage. Unlike heavier solutions, it uses less than 10MB of RAM and focuses purely on connection pooling without additional features that add complexity or overhead.
Which pooling mode should I choose for my application?
Transaction pooling is recommended for most applications as it provides the best balance of efficiency and compatibility. Session pooling is needed for applications using prepared statements or temporary tables. Statement pooling is only suitable for simple, stateless applications.
How much can PgBouncer reduce my PostgreSQL connections?
PgBouncer typically reduces backend PostgreSQL connections by 80-90%. For example, 1000 client connections might only require 10-20 backend connections, depending on your application's concurrency patterns and pooling mode.
Does PgBouncer support SSL encryption?
Yes, PgBouncer fully supports SSL/TLS encryption for both client-to-PgBouncer and PgBouncer-to-PostgreSQL connections. It can handle SSL termination and provides flexible SSL configuration options for secure deployments.
How do I monitor PgBouncer performance?
PgBouncer provides built-in statistics through its admin console, accessible via SQL commands. It reports connection counts, query statistics, and performance metrics. These can be integrated with monitoring tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or Zabbix.
Can PgBouncer handle high-traffic production environments?
Absolutely. PgBouncer is designed for high-performance production environments and can handle tens of thousands of concurrent connections with minimal resource usage. Its lightweight C implementation ensures excellent performance even under heavy loads.
