Nginx for Postgres servers

Server NGINX

I know nginx is designed to handle web and mail servers. Does it make
sense to use to handle multiple (in our case 2) PostgreSQL database
servers?

You mean something like: GitHub - FRiCKLE/ngx_postgres: upstream module that allows nginx to communicate directly with PostgreSQL database. ?

Hello Tom,

If you want to proxy PostgreSQL connections with nginx, you can use
the stream (tcp) proxy for this. Obviously, it will not keep a
persistent connection to the database server, but will open a new
connection for each client.
