our pooler

wait what's pglite

nice

so pglite has clear errors

we wanted better error messages

one wrong config and it's broken

like seriously

pgbouncer is hard to debug

also...

smart

so pglite does that

we wanted proper health checks

just assumes db is up

pgbouncer has no health checks

wait what's pglite again

so we built pglite

pgbouncer can't do that

exactly

so like a proxy?

ah

and modifying them

you know...

wait what's middleware

neat

so you can add features

like middleware

we wanted extensibility

no plugins

pgbouncer is single binary

we'll publish later
