Hello

pgpool does a great job at that. pgpool does load balancing to the first
statement that is considered a write statement, for that point on, the
rest of the transaction is routed to the primary.

But the question here is how to achieve all of the aforementioned
features, of all those great tools combined, or ideally combined in one.
