+
+Pool mode (see PgBouncer docs for more).
+`session` one server connection per connected client
+`transaction` one server connection per client transaction
+
+### load_balancing_mode
+```
+path: pools.<pool_name>.load_balancing_mode

+`primary` all queries go to the primary unless otherwise specified.
+
+### query_parser_enabled
+```
+path: pools.<pool_name>.query_parser_enabled
+default: true
+```
+
+If Query Parser is enabled, we'll attempt to parse
+every incoming query to determine if it's a read or a write.
+If it's a read query, we'll direct it to a replica. Otherwise, if it's a write,
+we'll direct it to the primary.
+
+### primary_reads_enabled
+```
+path: pools.<pool_name>.primary_reads_enabled
+default: true
+```
+
+If the query parser is enabled and this setting is enabled, the primary will be part of the pool of databases used for
+load balancing of read queries. Otherwise, the primary will only be used for write
+queries. The primary can always be explicitly selected with our custom protocol.
+
+### sharding_key_regex
+```
+path: pools.<pool_name>.sharding_key_regex
+default: <UNSET>
+example: '/\* sharding_key: (\d+) \*/'
+```
+
+Allow sharding commands to be passed as statement comments instead of
+separate commands. If these are unset this functionality is disabled.
+
+### sharding_function
+```
+path: pools.<pool_name>.sharding_function
+default: "pg_bigint_hash"
+```
+
+So what if you wanted to implement a different hashing function,
+or you've already built one and you want this pooler to use it?
+Current options:
+`pg_bigint_hash`: PARTITION BY HASH (Postgres hashing function)
+`sha1`: A hashing function based on SHA1
+
+### auth_query
+```
+path: pools.<pool_name>.auth_query
+default: <UNSET>
+example: "SELECT $1"
+```
+
+Query to be sent to servers to obtain the hash used for md5 authentication. The connection will be
+established using the database configured in the pool. This parameter is inherited by every pool
+and can be redefined in pool configuration.
+
+### auth_query_user
+```
+path: pools.<pool_name>.auth_query_user
+default: <UNSET>
+example: "sharding_user"
+```
+
+User to be used for connecting to servers to obtain the hash used for md5 authentication by sending the query
+specified in `auth_query_user`. The connection will be established using the database configured in the pool.
+This parameter is inherited by every pool and can be redefined in pool configuration.
+
+### auth_query_password
+```
+path: pools.<pool_name>.auth_query_password
+default: <UNSET>
+example: "sharding_user"
+```
+
+Password to be used for connecting to servers to obtain the hash used for md5 authentication by sending the query
+specified in `auth_query_user`. The connection will be established using the database configured in the pool.
+This parameter is inherited by every pool and can be redefined in pool configuration.
+
+### automatic_sharding_key
+```
+path: pools.<pool_name>.automatic_sharding_key
+default: <UNSET>
+example: "data.id"
+```
+
+Automatically parse this from queries and route queries to the right shard!
+
+### idle_timeout
+```
+path: pools.<pool_name>.idle_timeout
+default: 40000
+```
+
+Idle timeout can be overwritten in the pool
+
+### connect_timeout
+```
+path: pools.<pool_name>.connect_timeout
+default: 3000
+```
+
+Connect timeout can be overwritten in the pool
+
+## `pools.<pool_name>.users.<user_index>` Section
+
+### username
+```
+path: pools.<pool_name>.users.<user_index>.username
+default: "sharding_user"
+```
+
+PostgreSQL username used to authenticate the user and connect to the server
+if `server_username` is not set.
+
+### password
+```
+path: pools.<pool_name>.users.<user_index>.password
+default: "sharding_user"
+```
+
+PostgreSQL password used to authenticate the user and connect to the server
+if `server_password` is not set.
+
+### server_username
+```
+path: pools.<pool_name>.users.<user_index>.server_username
+default: <UNSET>
+example: "another_user"
+```
+
+PostgreSQL username used to connect to the server.
+
+### server_password
+```
+path: pools.<pool_name>.users.<user_index>.server_password
+default: <UNSET>
+example: "another_password"
+```
+
+PostgreSQL password used to connect to the server.
+
+### pool_size
+```
+path: pools.<pool_name>.users.<user_index>.pool_size
+default: 9
+```
+
+Maximum number of server connections that can be established for this user
+The maximum number of connection from a single Pgcat process to any database in the cluster
+is the sum of pool_size across all users.
+
+### statement_timeout
+```
+path: pools.<pool_name>.users.<user_index>.statement_timeout
+default: 0
+```
+
+Maximum query duration. Dangerous, but protects against DBs that died in a non-obvious way.
+0 means it is disabled.
+
+## `pools.<pool_name>.shards.<shard_index>` Section
+
+### servers
+```
+path: pools.<pool_name>.shards.<shard_index>.servers
+default: [["127.0.0.1", 5432, "primary"], ["localhost", 5432, "replica"]]
+```
+
+Array of servers in the shard, each server entry is an array of `[host, port, role]`
+
+### mirrors
+```
+path: pools.<pool_name>.shards.<shard_index>.mirrors
+default: <UNSET>
+example: [["1.2.3.4", 5432, 0], ["1.2.3.4", 5432, 1]]
+```
+
+Array of mirrors for the shard, each mirror entry is an array of `[host, port, index of server in servers array]`
+Traffic hitting the server identified by the index will be sent to the mirror.
+
+### database
+```
+path: pools.<pool_name>.shards.<shard_index>.database
+default: "shard0"
+```
+
+Database name (e.g. "postgres")

 ## TODOs

-A non-exhaustive list of things that would be useful to implement:
-
-#### Client authentication
-MD5 is probably sufficient, but maybe others too.
-
-#### Admin
-Admin database for stats collection and pooler administration. PgBouncer gives us a nice example on how to do that, specifically how to implement `RowDescription` and `DataRow` messages, [example here](https://github.com/pgbouncer/pgbouncer/blob/4f9ced8e63d317a6ff45c8b0efa876b32161f6db/src/admin.c#L813).

-
-Meow. PgBouncer rewritten in Rust, with sharding, load balancing and failover support.
-
-**Alpha**: looking for alpha testers, see [#35](https://github.com/levkk/pgcat/issues/35).
+PostgreSQL pooler and proxy (like PgBouncer) with support for sharding, load balancing, failover and mirroring.

 ## Features
-| **Feature**                    | **Status**            | **Comments**                                                                                                                                          |
-|--------------------------------|-----------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-| Transaction pooling            | :white_check_mark:    | Identical to PgBouncer.                                                                                                                               |
-| Session pooling                | :white_check_mark:    | Identical to PgBouncer.                                                                                                                               |
-| `COPY` support                 | :white_check_mark:    | Both `COPY TO` and `COPY FROM` are supported.                                                                                                         |
-| Query cancellation             | :white_check_mark:    | Supported both in transaction and session pooling modes.                                                                                              |
-| Load balancing of read queries | :white_check_mark:    | Using round-robin between replicas. Primary is included when `primary_reads_enabled` is enabled (default).                                            |
-| Sharding                       | :white_check_mark:    | Transactions are sharded using `SET SHARD TO` and `SET SHARDING KEY TO` syntax extensions; see examples below.                                        |
-| Failover                       | :white_check_mark:    | Replicas are tested with a health check. If a health check fails, remaining replicas are attempted; see below for algorithm description and examples. |
-| Statistics reporting           | :white_check_mark:    | Statistics similar to PgBouncers are reported via StatsD.                                                                                             |
-| Live configuration reloading   | :construction_worker: | Reload config with a `SIGHUP` to the process, e.g. `kill -s SIGHUP $(pgrep pgcat)`. Not all settings can be reloaded without a restart.               |
-| Client authentication          | :x: :wrench:          | On the roadmap; currently all clients are allowed to connect and one user is used to connect to Postgres.                                             |
+
+| **Feature** | **Status** | **Comments** |
+|-------------|------------|--------------|
+| Transaction pooling | **Stable** | Identical to PgBouncer with notable improvements for handling bad clients and abandoned transactions. |
+| Session pooling | **Stable** | Identical to PgBouncer. |
+| Multi-threaded runtime | **Stable** | Using Tokio asynchronous runtime, the pooler takes advantage of multicore machines. |
+| Load balancing of read queries | **Stable** | Queries are automatically load balanced between replicas and the primary. |
+| Failover | **Stable** | Queries are automatically rerouted around broken replicas, validated by regular health checks. |
+| Admin database statistics | **Stable** | Pooler statistics and administration via the `pgbouncer` and `pgcat` databases. |
+| Prometheus statistics | **Stable** | Statistics are reported via a HTTP endpoint for Prometheus. |
+| SSL/TLS | **Stable** | Clients can connect to the pooler using TLS. Pooler can connect to Postgres servers using TLS. |
+| Client/Server authentication | **Stable** | Clients can connect using MD5 authentication, supported by `libpq` and all Postgres client drivers. PgCat can connect to Postgres using MD5 and SCRAM-SHA-256. |
+| Live configuration reloading | **Stable** | Identical to PgBouncer; all settings can be reloaded dynamically (except `host` and `port`). |
+| Auth passthrough | **Stable** | MD5 password authentication can be configured to use an `auth_query` so no cleartext passwords are needed in the config file.|
+| Sharding using extended SQL syntax | **Experimental** | Clients can dynamically configure the pooler to route queries to specific shards. |
+| Sharding using comments parsing/Regex | **Experimental** | Clients can include shard information (sharding key, shard ID) in the query comments. |
+| Automatic sharding | **Experimental** | PgCat can parse queries, detect sharding keys automatically, and route queries to the correct shard. |
+| Mirroring | **Experimental** | Mirror queries between multiple databases in order to test servers with realistic production traffic. |
+
+
+## Status
+
+PgCat is stable and used in production to serve hundreds of thousands of queries per second.

+Some features remain experimental and are being actively developed. They are optional and can be enabled through configuration.

 ## Deployment

-See `Dockerfile` for example deployment using Docker. The pooler is configured to spawn 4 workers so 4 CPUs are recommended for optimal performance.
-That setting can be adjusted to spawn as many (or as little) workers as needed.

-| `default_role`          | Traffic is routed to this role by default (round-robin), unless the client specifies otherwise. Default is `any`, for any role available.  | `any`, `primary`, `replica`      |
-| `query_parser_enabled`  | Enable the query parser which will inspect incoming queries and route them to a primary or replicas.                                       | `false`                          |
-| `primary_reads_enabled` | Enable this to allow read queries on the primary; otherwise read queries are routed to the replicas.                                       | `true`                           |

+Additionally, all features are tested with Ruby, Python, and Rust unit and integration tests.
+
+Run `cargo test` to run Rust unit tests.
+
+Run the following commands to run Ruby and Python integration tests:
+
+```
+cd tests/docker/
+docker compose up --exit-code-from main # This will also produce coverage report under ./cov/

+
+### Docker-based local development
+
+You can open a Docker development environment where you can debug tests easier. Run the following command to spin it up:
+
+```
+./dev/script/console
+```
+
+This will open a terminal in an environment similar to that used in tests. In there, you can compile the pooler, run tests, do some debugging with the test environment, etc. Objects compiled inside the container (and bundled gems) will be placed in `dev/cache` so they don't interfere with what you have on your machine.

The queries are routed to the remaining servers. If all servers become banned, the ban list is cleared: this is a safety precaution against false positives. The primary can never be banned.
+All servers are checked with a `;` (very fast) query before being given to a client. Additionally, the server health is monitored with every client query that it processes. If the server is not reachable, it will be banned and cannot serve any more transactions for the duration of the ban. The queries are routed to the remaining servers. If all servers become banned, the ban list is cleared: this is a safety precaution against false positives. The primary can never be banned.

 The ban time can be changed with `ban_time`. The default is 60 seconds.

 ### Sharding
 We use the `PARTITION BY HASH` hashing function, the same as used by Postgres for declarative partitioning. This allows to shard the database using Postgres partitions and place the partitions on different servers (shards). Both read and write queries can be routed to the shards using this pooler.

+#### Extended syntax
 To route queries to a particular shard, we use this custom SQL syntax:

-- To talk to a shard explicitely
+-- To talk to a shard explicitly
 SET SHARD TO '1';

 -- To let the pooler choose based on a value

+#### With comments
+Issuing queries to the pooler can cause additional latency. To reduce its impact, it's possible to include sharding information inside SQL comments sent via the query. This is reasonably easy to implement with ORMs like [ActiveRecord](https://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/QueryMethods.html#method-i-annotate) and [SQLAlchemy](https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/20/core/events.html#sql-execution-and-connection-events).

+
+#### Automatic query parsing
+PgCat can use the `sqlparser` crate to parse SQL queries and extract the sharding key. This is configurable with the `automatic_sharding_key` setting. This feature is still experimental, but it's the ideal implementation for sharding, requiring no client modifications.

 ### Statistics reporting

-### PgCat
-
-#### Config
-
-The only thing that matters here is the number of workers in the Tokio pool. Make sure to set it to < than the number of your CPU cores.
-Also account for hyper-threading, so if you have that, take the number you got above and divide it by two, that way only "real" cores serving
-requests.
-
-My setup is 16 threads, 8 cores (`htop` shows as 16 CPUs), so I set the `max_workers` in Tokio to 4. Too many, and it starts conflicting with PgBench
-which is also running on the same system.
