### What we like

Like an API gateway, but for databases \- provides connection pooling and caching\. Can be containerized and exports observability primitives \(logging, Prometheus metrics, otel traces\)\. Works at the transport layer so is protocol agnostic, with Postgres as the first supported protocol\. Open source\.

### Tradeoffs

Currently only supports Postgres\.
