Unrelated to pg but could you badger the spanner team to make a mini spanner product :)

Related to postgres. We have many many concurrent connections but a load satisfied by an n1-standard-4 atm do you recommend a connection pooler or something to help us get down to the 100 to 200 connections we need to be at to use cloudsql?

Connection pooling is recommended for any non-trivial PG deployment. I can recommend pgbouncer, worked flawlessly for us.

[I'm the Cloud SQL TL] We do recommend connection pooling whenever possible. You save server resources, but you also save connection latency.

A mini spanner product in what sense?
