Good morning,

in Microsoft Azure how to add pgbouncer or a similar software enabling
multiple simultaneous connections?

After reading https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/postgresql/overview I
could not find such options...

Thank you
Alex

Not from within. Supported extensions:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/postgresql/concepts-extensions

Using search term 'azure postgresql connection pooler', a sample blog
that shows another way:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/postgresql/concepts-extensions

Why not spin up a VM and install your own Postgres ?

I am just overwhelmed by the Azure, too many options there...

You are correct - I could easily create a Linux VM and install Postgres and
pgbouncer there :-)

But how to create the "cloudliness" then? I.e. how to automatically launch
additional VM instances automatically when the load is increasing? (and
still keep the database "in sync")

Will need more information about what it is you are trying to achieve
and what Azure options you are considering?
