AWS RDS/Aurora Postgres compatibility #103
-
|
From my experience and research, I cannot find any current way to actually utilize this extension in AWS RDS/Aurora Postgres due to the fact that I cannot actually get full "superuser" rights. Additionally, AWS has a list of "approved" extensions and, of course, pg_documentdb (and _core) are not included. I expected this but was hoping maybe someone found a way around this? https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/PostgreSQLReleaseNotes/postgresql-extensions.html Selfishly, we were looking to maybe use ferretDB in the future, and wanted to make sure we could use an existing Postgres instance and install the necessary extension to allow this to work. Though, it seems that I might be approaching my problem the wrong way. Anyone have any suggestions? |

You're right, AWS RDS and Aurora PostgreSQL don’t currently support pg_documentdb and _core, and I don't know if there's a workaround for it just yet. To use it with FerretDB, you’d need to run PostgreSQL in an environment where you have full control like on EC2, in Docker, or on a self-managed VM. We’d definitely be interested in learning more about this. Feel free to share, and we can help brainstorm options that might work for your setup. |

Thanks! I actually connected to the slack instance and posted a similar response. Looks like the team might already be working towards this. I know we can easily host using ec2, but it's more convincing the powers at be to "revert" back to hosting rather than using a managed service. Regardless, I am happy to provide any feedback I can. But I know the barrier right now is that we don't have superuser rights using managed postgres (RDS or Aurora), which prevents us from installing extensions outside of what is included(and approved) by AWS. |

@randoneering What are you using DocumentDB for? |

Thanks for the discussion; I would love to learn more about this use-case. There are some use cases that require postgres and other that requires documentDB (stakeholders decisions); from a technical perspective it would glorious we could just centralize all to one single RDS instance. Cheers |
