ProxySQL – A Perfect Complement to Your PostgreSQL Database

This presentation compares key tools in the PostgreSQL ecosystem that address database high availability, connection management, and load balancing — and shows how ProxySQL stacks up as a compelling alternative.

While ProxySQL has historically been recognized for its rich feature set with MySQL and MySQL wire-compatible products, those same features are fully supported for PostgreSQL and PostgreSQL wire-compatible products as well.

We compare ProxySQL against:

• pgBouncer – connection pooling
• Pgpool-II – read/write splitting and load balancing
• PgCat – connection pooling, read/write splitting, and query routing
• HAProxy + Keepalived – network-level load balancing
• PgDog - r horizontal scaling and load balancing

We also walk through hands-on tutorials available today so you can evaluate ProxySQL in your own PostgreSQL environment.
