RDS Proxy is very specific with which versions it supports. If it says it doesn't support it, it doesn't support it.

Postgres 14 is supposed to have built-in connection pooling. If you're on it, do you still feel the need for RDS Proxy? We're using pgbouncer and can't decide if we should switch to RDS Proxy or upgrade to Postgres 14 and drop the external connection pooler.

Any references on this? I see a note somewhere about better connection handling, but nothing that would remove the need for connection pooling.

This is false. No PostgreSQL version has had a built-in connection pooler. There was a patch some years ago[0], but it didn't make it into PostgreSQL.
