Written in Rust, PgCat is designed to efficiently manage database connections across multiple shards and replicas while supporting features like automatic failover, query-based routing, and observability. It works with both single-node and multi-tenant Postgres setups, making it ideal for cloud-native applications that require scale and reliability.
