Walkthrough

Adds a new "Database Pooling with Pgcat" docs page, updates site navigation to include it, and extends the configuration guide with a production best-practices section recommending pgcat and providing example settings and deployment patterns.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Change Summary
Navigation
docs/mint.json
Inserted a new navigation entry for setting-up/installation/pooling after the existing setting-up/installation/kubernetes entry.
Documentation — Connection Pooling
docs/setting-up/configuration.mdx, docs/setting-up/installation/pooling.mdx
Added a new production best-practices section recommending pgcat, example session-mode configuration and Permify integration guidance; created a comprehensive pooling page covering overview, Docker/Kubernetes install patterns (standalone/sidecar), reference pgcat config, sizing, monitoring, troubleshooting, and backward-compatibility notes.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~20 minutes

  • Review accuracy of pgcat configuration examples (URIs, session-mode params, lifecycle/max_connections).
  • Verify wording about sizing and connection-count guidance to avoid risky recommendations.
  • Confirm docs/mint.json navigation JSON is valid and link target matches pooling.mdx filename/path.
  • Check Kubernetes sidecar and Helm snippets for correctness and consistency with existing deployment docs.

"I hopped through configs, tidy and bright,
Pgcat in my pouch, pooling through night,
Docs paved the path, Docker and K8s too,
Connections well-managed, steady and true,
A rabbit's small cheer for cleaner DB glue." 🐇

494-494: Use a realistic password placeholder for clarity.

The password placeholder "password" could be confused with an actual password. Consider using a placeholder name like "DB_USER_PASSWORD" (as used in pooling.mdx) to make it clear this needs to be replaced.

Also applies to: 496-496

78-78: Minor style improvement: remove weak intensifier.

The phrase "very small deployments" could be simplified to "small deployments" for clearer communication.

Apply this diff:

-Run pgcat as a sidecar next to Permify in the same Pod for very small deployments. In most cases a shared pgcat Service is simpler to operate and scale.

docs/mint.json (1)

316-317: Navigation entry is well-structured.

The new pooling page is correctly positioned under Deployment > Installation with proper JSON syntax and path reference.

docs/setting-up/configuration.mdx (1)

490-502: Align configuration with pooling.mdx guidance.

This configuration example differs significantly from the equivalent in the new pooling.mdx file:

  • max_connection_lifetime: 300s here vs 3600s in pooling.mdx
  • Missing lifecycle settings: max_connection_lifetime_jitter, health_check_period, connect_timeout

Verify which configuration is correct and update both locations to be consistent, or clarify the differences (e.g., if this is a minimal vs recommended setup).

docs/setting-up/installation/pooling.mdx (2)

1-211: Excellent foundational documentation for Pgcat pooling.

The page provides clear, well-organized guidance on when and how to use Pgcat for production deployments. The structure (overview, installation, reference config, Permify integration, sizing, monitoring, troubleshooting, backward compatibility) is logical and comprehensive. Configuration examples are technically sound, and the cautions about session mode and connection lifecycle are appropriate.


129-134: Query parameter clarification is excellent.

The <Note> block (lines 129-134) clearly explains the purpose of plan_cache_mode and default_query_exec_mode parameters and why they're necessary with Pgcat's session mode. This guidance will help users understand the "why" behind the configuration, not just the "what."
