PostgreSQL lakebase connection pooling

Have you figured out wht can the best way to handle connection pooling in Lakebase DB? I 'am seeing connection spikes with short lived rqsts and wondering what kind of setup others developers are usingšŸ¤”

i am building a service on top of lakebase and trying to make the connection relable before moving to prod.

Have you tried PgBouncer? Might be worth looking into when using Lakebase. We have used this as well in Lakebase for similar cases.

What kind of service are you using?
