Can’t believe they needed this investigation to realize they need a connection pooler. It’s a fundamental component of every large-scale Postgres deployment, especially for serverless environments.

In serverless world for sure but in old-school architecture it's common to use persistent connections to a database which make connection pooler less essential. Also the last time I did check (many years ago admittedly) connection poolers didn't play well with server-size prepared statements and transactions.

pgbouncer added support for prepared statements a couple years back.
