# Working with the bundled PgBouncer service **(PREMIUM ONLY)**
As part of its High Availability stack, GitLab Premium includes a bundled version of [PgBouncer](https://pgbouncer.github.io/) that can be managed through `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`. PgBouncer is used to seamlessly migrate database connections between servers in a failover scenario. Additionally, it can be used in a non-HA setup to pool connections, speeding up response time while reducing resource usage.
