PgBouncer
Lightweight connection pooler for PostgreSQL, written in C.
www.pgbouncer.orgrepositorydocs
PgBouncer is a connection pooler for PostgreSQL. The project builds it from C source with Autoconf or Meson, and its settings are listed in the configuration reference. The install page describes running it as a Windows service, and it can validate pooler users through LDAP or PAM when built with those libraries.
Worth knowing
The install page calls Autoconf the recommended choice for production builds and marks the Meson build as experimental.
