Introduction

Thank you for contributing! Just a few tips here:

1. cargo fmt your code before opening up a PR
2. Run the test suite (e.g. pgbench) to make sure everything still works. The tests are in .circleci/run_tests.sh.
3. Performance is important, make sure there are no regressions in your branch vs. main.

Happy hacking!

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.
