Maybe worth pointing out the original interview (it is in a follow up tweet as well) and the blog posts that lead to it. There are so many more details.

I especially love the improvements that Vignesh and his team made to pgBouncer. Being able to modify the number of connections dynamically is super useful. And I still hope that Vignesh and team will implement the auto-tuning idea he shared at the end of the blog.

Justin (our then intern) is the sole author of the feature. He also has pit together a doc on how to do development on PgBouncer. Happy to share those too if there is an interest.
