What is the use case for this?

  Probably the biggest downside in my mind with postgres (which is otherwise an amazing product!) is that it doesn't scale connections well, as there is 1 process per connection. So teams often put a connection pooler in front of postgres - end clients connect to that connection pooler, which forwards on requests to postgres. AFAIK pgbouncer is the 'de facto standard' for postgres connection pooling, so I asked the author how Odyssey compares.
