The cat is finally out of the bag! Amazon Relational Database Service is offering PostgreSQL!
This is an incredibly exciting development to have Postgres as easily deployable in AWS as MySQL, Oracle or SQL Server.
Would love to hear who is planning to try it out in the comments.
I’d be right there, but need either plpython and/or plv8. I figure it’s the ‘u’ in plpythonu that’s preventing python (and the still in beta status of v8 stopping that)
Awesome news, it’s about time! I’ll be checking it out ASAP.
This is incredibly good timing for me – I’m just starting to experiment with Postgres as an alternative to MS SQL Server (which I use at work, not via AWS).
I looked at the list of options for RDS for the first time a couple of days ago and PG wasn’t on the list – 48 hours later and I’m a happy soon-to-be-user. Cheers Amazon!
(Did try and comment before but I think it got dropped while I was trying to sign in – hopefully this isn’t a double post…)

I was waiting for it.. It is good the nice features can be used too as MultiAZ which the SQL server don´t have. The only inconvenient is that the only version available is the 9.3.1 which will require a forced upgrade 🙂
