Pooler in transaction mode is still the standard answer in 2026, and yes you give up session-level prepared statements. Most ORMs have a flag for it now. We run the provider pooler and disabled prepared statements - stable under spikes since.
If your driver supports an HTTP/data API, that sidesteps the connection problem entirely for the simple query path. We route heavy/transactional stuff through the pooler and everything else over HTTP. Best of both worlds.
Also cap pool max to something tiny per instance (like 1-2) on serverless. Each instance hoarding 10 connections is exactly how you hit max_connections. Small pool + pooler is the combo.
