That sounds promising; all that would be left to do would be to keep the old instance running while there are still connections to it. > Another option might be to use the SO_REUSEPORT socket option and start a > new pgbouncer instance concurrently with the old one.

That would still need systemd allowing to start two instances in parallel. I think implementing something along these lines is a prerequisite for the first solution. Christoph
