While researching options, I did see crunchy proxy using annotations to
split read/write. But I was not sure if any of these options fit well with
multiple toolings , drivers etc.

The other option was
https://github.com/wgliang/pgproxy

or writing your custom plug-in for envoyproxy filter for postgresql

https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/intro/arch_overview/other_protocols/postgres

So basically it was adding one more layer in between the already connection
pooling layers via pgbouncer.
The biggest concern is when we use ssl, these session params cannot be read
unless we terminate ssl at the proxy, and then decode, so I gave up :)
