Because of the one-backend-per-session concept of PG, I think I should bind one my DSL session to one bg worker only. It seems work. But is there a way to launch a bg worker when a new session starts, just like pg's per-session-backend do? Is it possible to run a bg worker for incoming sessions and to launch a new bg worker to handle the session when it comes?

To give more details here, Postgres relies heavily on the fact that sessions
working in parallel on the backend should be done in separate processes,
like for transaction or snapshot handling.
