Description

Hello

I would like to implement support for pgpool, much like there is for pgbouncer.
Is there any work done in that direction ?
Would it be a good idea ?
How one should go about doing it from the current code base ?

Thanks

Research direction

The issue names existing pgbouncer support but no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating that support in the postgres-operator codebase and determine how an optional pgpool integration would fit. The work is not ready to start until its scope and acceptance criteria are clarified.
