Supavisor is a cloud-native, multi-tenant Postgres connection pooler built in Elixir/Erlang. It proxies millions of client connections into a stateful pool of native Postgres connections, enabling zero-downtime scaling and high availability across a distributed cluster.

Use cases

• pool postgres connections for serverless functions
• scale postgres connections to millions of clients
• replace pgbouncer with a distributed pooler
• manage multi-tenant postgres connection pooling
• avoid connection exhaustion in postgres
• proxy postgres connections over http and tcp
• run zero-downtime database compute resizing

When to choose

• you need to pool postgres connections for many tenants or serverless clients
• you want a horizontally scalable, cloud-native alternative to pgbouncer
• you need zero-downtime scaling of postgres compute behind a proxy

When to avoid

• you only need simple single-node connection pooling for one app
• you use a database other than postgres
• you cannot operate a distributed elixir cluster
