-Each pooling mode handles connections differently.
-
-### Transaction mode
-This mode is recommended if you are connecting from *serverless environments*. A connection is assigned to the client for the duration of a transaction. Two consecutive transactions from the same client could be executed over two different connections. Some session-based Postgres features such as prepared statements are *not available* with this option.
-
-### Session mode
-This mode is similar to connecting to your database directly. There is full support for prepared statements in this mode. When a new client connects, a connection is assigned to the client until it disconnects. You *might run into pooler connection limits* since the connection is held till the client disconnects.

-### Using session and transaction modes at the same time

-     ? 'You can use the session mode connection string (port 5432) and transaction mode connection string (port 6543) in your application.'
-     : 'To get the best of both worlds, as a starting point, we recommend using session mode just when you need support for prepared statements and transaction mode in other cases.'
