🔊 PgDog: A Traffic Cop for PostgreSQL Growth
📦 pgdogdev/pgdog
PgDog is an open-source tool that sits in front of PostgreSQL databases and helps them handle more traffic without forcing teams to rewrite their apps. It works like a smart traffic manager: it reuses database connections, spreads requests across servers, and can split data across multiple database machines when one server is no longer enough. This solves common scaling problems like slowdowns, too many simultaneous connections, and painful database growth. It is useful because apps can keep using standard PostgreSQL tools while PgDog handles the routing behind the scenes, improving speed, reliability, and room to grow with less operational effort.
