# Database Connection Pooler

## Overview

Configure and optimize database connection pooling using external poolers (PgBouncer, ProxySQL, Odyssey) and application-level pool settings to prevent connection exhaustion, reduce connection overhead, and improve database throughput.

## Prerequisites

- `psql` or `mysql` CLI for querying connection metrics
- Access to database configuration files (`postgresql.conf`, `my.cnf`) for `max_connections` settings
- PgBouncer, ProxySQL, or Odyssey installed if using external pooling
- Application connection pool settings accessible (database URL, pool size parameters)
- Server CPU core count and available memory for pool sizing calculations
