PgBouncer - HA Mode

Team,

we are using PgBouncer for connection pooling, now all are application is connecting database via PgBouncer. However I need suggestion, if some how VM goes down or something goes wrong with PgBouncer, how can we handle that situation. We observe that currently its a single point of failure for all application if PgBouncer goes down. 

Is there any kind of load balancer or replicate the PgBouncer ti manage the high availability?

Thanks in advance.

A typical approach is to run several pgbouncer instances on separate 
hosts and use a TCP/IP-level load balancer (e.g., hardware load balancer 
or HAProxy) to route traffic.

PgBouncer does not have internal failover-host configuration nor detection. It is possible via some external tools:

  1. DNS reconfiguration - when ip behind DNS name is reconfigured, pgbouncer will reconnect to new server. This behaviour can be tuned via 2 config parameters - dns_max_ttl tunes lifetime for one hostname, and dns_zone_check_period tunes how often zone SOA will be queried for changes. If zone SOA record has changed, pgbouncer will re-query all hostnames under that zone.

  2. Write new host to config and let PgBouncer reload it - send SIGHUP or use RELOAD; command on console. PgBouncer will detect changed host config and reconnect to new server.

Or else 

You can go for haproxy
