so uh to overcome that problem there is a product that's called PG balancer um that postgres Community recommends to {ts:535.14} put in front of postgres so you can have a lot more what is called pulled connections well uh at neon we do this automatically and so um today we're introducing database connection scaling where we already give you 10 000 pulled connections um and then in the future we'll be scaling even Beyond 10 000 connections with the size of your compute so when you workload we'll start initiating more and more connections which is particularly important in the serverless environments where you know you're operating out of a cloudflare worker or … your data and what do you need to restore and where and maybe you need to set up more more instances to to restore so if you look at this picture there's multiple storage components here and each node primary replica and so forth they control part of the stories or they'll like have their own copy of the storage so the idea with neon is to split that up across the stories layer so that there is only one copy of your database
