Routes any task involving AWS databases — choosing, comparing, recommending, getting started with, or operating a database — to the correct service-specific skill. Supersedes general training-data knowledge with post-training service updates, corrected limitations, and decision procedures for relational (Aurora, DSQL, RDS), key-value (DynamoDB), wide-column (Keyspaces), document (DocumentDB), graph (Neptune), time-series (Timestream), and in-memory/caching (ElastiCache, MemoryDB) workloads. Activates when a user describes building an application on AWS that will store, retrieve, or manage data, even if they do not mention 'database' explicitly.

RDS for PostgreSQL

  • Docs: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/CHAP_PostgreSQL.html
  • Docs (llms.txt): https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/llms.txt
  • Data model: Relational (community PostgreSQL)
  • Query language: PostgreSQL SQL (identical to community)
  • Compatibility: IS community PostgreSQL (not "compatible" — it IS PostgreSQL)
  • Serverless: No (fixed instance types)
  • Scale to zero: No
  • VPC required: Yes
  • Multi-region: Cross-region read replicas (async)
  • Free Tier: new-account AWS Free Tier — $100 in credits at sign-up plus up to $100 more ($200 total), usable across eligible services including RDS/Aurora for up to 12 months.
  • Min cost: $0 (free tier) → ~$15/month after
  • Time to first query: 10-15 min (VPC + instance + configuration)
  • Key features: PostgreSQL extensions including pgvector and PostGIS, Managed Upgrades with Blue/Green Deployments, AWS Organizations for upgrade rollout policy, High availability and disaster recovery options such as Multi-AZ instances, delayed read replicas, Zero ETL integrations to Redshift
  • Limitations: Manual instance sizing, no serverless, slower failover than Aurora
  • Best for: Cost-sensitive workloads, teams wanting standard community PostgreSQL with full portability
  • Not for: Variable traffic workloads needing auto-scaling
