Tigger: A Database Proxy That Bounces With User-Bypass

Summary: Introduces user-bypass: run DB-proxy protocol logic in-kernel via eBPF to eliminate user↔kernel copies and syscall overhead. Tigger, a PostgreSQL-compatible proxy using this approach, reduces latency up to 29% and CPU use up to 42% vs state-of-the-art. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
