Me ya buƙaci haɗin gida (PgBouncer)?

Question

Accepted Answer

**Haɗin gida** yana sake amfani da ƙaramin jerin haɗin gida tsakanin mutane da yawa na buƙatun client, maimakon buɓugi haɗi sabon ga kowane buƙatu. Haɗin gida na PostgreSQL **mai tsada** (kowannensu aiki daban ya amfani da alaƙar kuɗi mai yawa), don haka haɗin gida shi ne dole ne don aikin jiya da girma karkashin nauyin aiki. **PgBouncer** shi ne ma'aikacin haɗin gida na yau da kullun.

## Matsalar: haɗin gida na PostgreSQL sun kasua

```text
Each PostgreSQL connection = a separate OS PROCESS, using ~5-10MB of memory.
  ✗ Opening a connection has overhead (process creation, auth, setup)
  ✗ Many connections (e.g. 1000s from a busy app) → huge memory use, contention
  ✗ Postgres has a max_connections limit (often ~100); exceeding it = errors
→ Opening/closing a connection per request, or holding thousands open, doesn't scale.
```

## Maganin: haɗin gida na haɗin gida

```text
A POOL maintains a small set of REUSABLE connections to Postgres.
Application requests BORROW a connection from the pool, use it, and RETURN it.
  ✓ Connections are reused (no per-request open/close overhead)
  ✓ Many app requests share a few DB connections (e.g. 10000 clients → 20 connections)
  ✓ Stays within max_connections, controls resource use → scales
```

## PgBouncer — ma'aikacin haɗin gida na waje na yau da kullun

```text
PgBouncer sits BETWEEN the application and PostgreSQL — lightweight, efficient.
Pooling modes:
  Session   → a connection is assigned for the client's whole session
  Transaction → a connection is held only for the duration of a TRANSACTION (most
               efficient — connections returned between transactions; common choice)
  Statement → per-statement (most aggressive; limited)
→ Transaction pooling maximizes connection reuse for typical web apps.
```

## Inda haɗin gida ya faru

```text
Application-level → many ORM/driver libraries have built-in pools (per app instance)
External pooler (PgBouncer) → a shared pool in front of Postgres (best for many app
  instances / serverless, where per-instance pools would still overwhelm the DB)
→ Serverless especially needs an external pooler (many short-lived instances).
```

Haɗin gida ya zama dole ne ilmin sanin aikin PostgreSQL **a girma**, saboda haɗin gida na PostgreSQL ba za su da kima (kowannensu aiki daban na OS ya amfani da alaƙar kuɗi mai yawa), don haka fahimtar dalilin da ake buƙin haɗin gida da kuma yadda ya aiki shi ne mahimmin ilmin jiya don aikin bata da girma, masu haske da sarari.
