PgDog

PostgreSQL connection pooler, load balancer and database sharder written in Rust.

PgDog is a connection pooler, load balancer and database sharder for PostgreSQL, written in Rust. The installation guide covers a Helm chart for Kubernetes, a Docker image, a Terraform module for AWS ECS, pre-built binaries and a build from source. A single instance is multithreaded and can serve many clients, and the docs’ comparison page sets PgDog beside PgBouncer and PgCat. PgDog, Inc. maintains it.
