As an aside, why isn't pgbouncer basically built into Postgres, at least as an option? I'm sure there's a good reason, but as a lay-user, pgbouncer seems to just do connections better than Postgres. It's just a pain to both with it when cloud databases are so easy to launch in comparison.

Culture in Pg community once favored separate, single purpose solutions. This was the replication story for a long time. So here's hoping they'll build-in something to help with the high costs of individual connections.

Some work as started to have a built-in connection poller on January 2019 so it will probably be available in PostgreSQL someday.
