I have 8.0.2 in production with zero problems. It's not a high-load
installation but it's been completely solid.

Postgres is a multiprocess database, not multithread. So you will get
a Postgres.exe process for each connection.

Our production system uses Hibernate with 8.0 and the corresponding
JDBC driver--no problems at all.
