Managed Databases Connection Pools and PostgreSQL Benchmarking Using pgbench
In this tutorial we’ll use `pgbench`, PostgreSQL’s built-in benchmarking tool, to run load tests on a the cloud provider Managed PostgreSQL Database. We’ll dive in to connection pools, describe how they work, and show how to create one using the Cloud Control panel. Finally, using results from the `pgbench` tests, we’ll demonstrate how using a connection pool can be an inexpensive method of increasing database throughput.
