PgBouncer - PlanetScale PgBouncer provides connection pooling for your Postgres database.

Learn more in our docs:

planetscale.com/docs/postgre...

Need Postgres connection pooling?

PlanetScale has three PgBouncer options:

- Local: co-located with the primary Postgres instance
- Dedicated primary: runs on separate infrastructure, good for pooling + HA
- Dedicated replica: pooling for your replica queries

Extensions: pg_strict - PlanetScale pg_strict blocks dangerous queries before they run. It prevents common mistakes like UPDATE or DELETE statements without WHERE clauses that would affect every row in a table.
