Description: PgBouncer is a lightweight connection pooler for PostgreSQL databases. It acts as a proxy between client applications and the PostgreSQL server, managing and optimizing the number of database connections.

Pgbouncer offers various connection pooling modes, such as session and transaction modes, to suit different application needs.
