Re: Users, Roles and Connection Pooling
I have little experience in this area, but it seems like having a Postgres role for every application user is the right way to do things. It’s just that it also seems really inconvenient.
For example how to map an application’s users/people table to Postgres roles? The pg_role name field is limited to 64 bytes, you can’t create a foreign key to pg_role. What’s the answer? Use UUIDs as usernames or something?
There’s very little out there on this topic, but surely this has been done before.

While this seems plausible- I'd love to hear about exactly what you've
seen start to be a problem when getting up to that many users. Are you
just referring to things like \du? Or..?
Thanks,
