Dedicated replica PgBouncers

PlanetScale dedicated replica pgbouncer infrastructure diagram

We've just released the ability to provision dedicated PgBouncers for your Postgres replicas. Dedicated PgBouncers run on nodes separate from Postgres.

This allows you to have a connection pool that will evenly distribute connections across your available replicas, making it simple to scale out read-only traffic by using your two included replicas or even scaling out more by adding additional replicas to your Postgres cluster.
