Having written several pg txn poolers, I like the implementation. I also love your simple branding and I think this could make a fantastic product for enterprise customers. However, my biggest concern as a buyer is longevity. PgCat (another popular pooler in rust) will likely lose funding shortly. Meanwhile, PgBouncer is battle tested, small in scope, and is starting to get consistent new contribution.

Thanks!

Re: pgcat and longevity, it's actually the opposite. Pgcat is/was an open source project that I worked on in my spare time. Thankfully I found a couple engineers (and the awesome community contributions) at large corps to push it over the line.

PgDog is a startup, so this is now my full time job.

Glad to see you found some footing! I just saw the email about PgML today.

You should mention the timeline of projects leading up to PgDog in your marketing. I was looking for references to pgcat (very briefly) but didn’t see any. Your background will bring a lot of peace of mind to technology adopters in big enterprise.

Will do. You're not the first one to recommend this, it's about time I listen.
