PgDog

pgDog is a PostgreSQL proxy and connection management tool built to improve scalability, routing, and operational control for PostgreSQL deployments. It acts as an intelligent intermediary between applications and database servers, enabling load balancing, query routing, and connection pooling in distributed environments. The project is designed with performance and observability in mind, helping teams manage high-traffic database workloads more efficiently. Its architecture supports modern infrastructure patterns, making it suitable for cloud-native and microservices deployments. pgDog also emphasizes operational simplicity, providing configuration mechanisms that allow teams to adjust routing behavior without deep changes to application code. In practice, the tool helps organizations scale PostgreSQL clusters while maintaining reliability and predictable performance under load.
