A Major Postgres Upgrade with Zero Downtime
> are they using a connection pooler
We use Hikari [1] an in-process connection pooler. We didn't opt for pgbouncer at al, because we didn't want to add the extra infra yet.
> since what they did in code can be natively done with PgBouncer, PgCat, et al.
Can you point me to a reference I could look at, about doing a major version upgrade with PgBouncer et al? My understanding that we would still need to write a script to switch masters, similar to what we wrote.
> all the active connections
The active connections we were referring too were websocket connections, we haven't had problems with PG connections.
Right now the algorithm we use to find affected queries and notify websockets starts to falter when the number of active websocket connections get too high. We're working on improving it in the coming weeks. I'll update the essay to clarify.
> I did feel for them here:
Thank you! That part was definitely the most frustrating.

Kapper, a Fresh Look at ORMs for Kotlin and the JVM
// Create a DataSource object, for example using [HikariCP](https://github.com/brettwooldridge/HikariCP) // Kapper is un-opinionated about which pooler, if any you use. val dataSource = HikariDataSource().apply { jdbcUrl = "jdbc:PostgreSQL://localhost:5432/mydatabase" username = "username" password = "password" } // The Kapper API is exposed as an extension of the java.sql.Connection interface: dataSource.connection.use { connection -> // Do database stuff }

No contexto específico estava sendo falado sobre o Hikari Connection Pool. Mas, se o Hikari é um Connection Pool, o que seria um "Pool"?

A Tale of Two Connection Pools
I found one suggestion from the author of HikariCP on how to address this, which I implemented and it worked. However, there are additional classes involved, and it feels a little clunky and hard to follow.

Spring boot change password runtime
Not really, you can change some things in spring boot but doing so will typically trigger a refresh which is less reliable than restarting but still causes a large performance hit. You could probably do it with hikari if you really needed to but it's inadvisable to build your application around this mechanic.
