Mar 31, 2026 — Managed Databases with PGBouncer connection pooling

Akamai now supports PgBouncer connection pooling for Managed PostgreSQL Databases powered by Aiven.
Connection pools can be created and managed through Cloud Manager or Linode API, with support for transaction, session, and statement pooling modes.

Enabling PGBouncer reduces connection overhead, frees up server resources for query execution and disk caching, and improves performance at scale, with no additional infrastructure to manage.
