Have a look here:

https://github.com/brianc/node-postgres/tree/master/packages/pg-pool

Whilst you are there, check out the other packages within the node-postgres project. The pg-connection string is written in TypeScript. Some of the other packages could be migrated. Many hours of design, build, and debugging have gone into those packages.

TBH I'm not convinced of the benefits of a database driver including its own pool vs. just using a generic one.

Fwiw, I use olpo and it works OK.

OK, here is a question then. How often have you used a database driver without using a pool? If the answer is never or a low number, why make it harder to connect to your database?

A large number of database drivers include a pool. It is a small addition that will be appreciated by almost all users of the driver.
