There is plenty of space for large systems which need a database but don't have a large number of clients.
It's a matter of the scale of your data vs. the scale of your readers and writers.
- frollogaston 2mo agoIf you do have a large number of clients, PgBouncer only means you have a single shared pool of connections rather than each replica having its own smaller pool. You already have a load-balancer for the web clients, so the latter is maybe fine. Of course this doesn't work if you have more replicas than available DB connections.
