In this video, I delved deep into Postgres' connection management, exploring its unique process per user client-server model. By analyzing the source code, we uncovered how Postgres creates a new process for each client connection, despite the apparent resource cost. This design choice enables fault tolerance and isolation between client connections. The video highlighted the importance of connection pooling tools like PG Bouncer to optimize resource usage. Despite its drawbacks, Postgres' process-based approach offers resilience and reliability in handling client connections.
