We created a PostgreSQL production database in AWS RDS a few months back and now we have received a requirement from the application team to install a connection pooler - PgBouncer in it.
I couldn't see any proper document from the AWS team showing the steps to install a PgBouncer and configure it in the AWS RDS PostgreSQL DB instance.
Is it possible to install PgBouncer in the AWS RDS PostgreSQL DB instance? If yes, can someone help me and share the steps to install and configure PgBouncer in the AWS RDS PostgreSQL?
Thank you!

I have a Node JS application that has come into my situation. The app has a Postgres database that is currently hosted on Heroku that needs to be migrated to RDS. I have created a Postgres Aurora database cluster and have performed a restore using pg_restore. I am now trying to connect the Node JS application to the RDS database cluster and am having some trouble how to connect the app to the database in RDS.
Note, the RDS database cluster is private. The only access to the database is within the VPC. If there are any guides available to achieve this connectivity, that would greatly be appreciated.
I'm trying to upgrade an RDS database cluster engine from Aurora PostgreSQL 9.6.19 before its end of life, I made copy and tried to upgrade to 9.6.21 and 10.16 but everytime the same problem happens:
Database cluster is in a state that cannot be upgraded: Postgres cluster is in a state where pg_upgrade can not be completed successfully.
The status of the database is Available so maybe it refers to something else but I don't know what and how to fix it, I've tried looking for answers to no avail.
Has anyone fixed this?
The pg_upgrade_internal log file will usually contain details on any failures/errors.
You can take a look on these logs using the command line:
aws rds describe-db-log-files --db-instance-identifier my-db-instance
Or via console, or RDS API.

We want to migrate an external postgresql database into amazon RDS however for some time we need to keep both of them working and in sync. I have found ways of doing it but only with RDS being the master and not the Slave. Is there a good and viable solution which could help us?
There is AWS service Database Migration Service which can be used to migrate external databases to Amazon AWS RDS.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/latest/userguide/Welcome.html
It supports postgresql 9.4 and higher.
There are different task types and you need to use Ongoing Replication to keep them sync.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/latest/userguide/CHAP_Task.CDC.html
To setup that task you need to enable Logical Replication for source database

As already commented, read the docs and whitepapers.
Why RDS is better than manually installed PostgreSQL database in EC2 instance?
you can be sure it is well setup, you will get point in time recovery, backups and high availability. As well you can set it up yourself, however using RDS you have it all already configured.
Ifs it possible to connent existing database in EC2 instance with Amazon RDS? How it really works?
you don't have access to any underlying configuration, so nope, you cannot really connect ec2 database w/ rds (e. g. wal for wal streaming).
you still can use database migration tools to migrate all databases and updates to or from rds
How I should automation RDS? When I want create new database in existing EC2 instance I can use Ansible in simply way.
you can use a cloudformation template or cli commands
How I should connect my application with database which uses RDS ?
when you create a rds instance, you will define an admin user and receive a connection url
