Amazon RDS makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale relational deployments in the cloud. We are to introduce PostgreSQL to the family of supported database engines. Now, you can deploy scalable PostgreSQL deployments in minutes, freeing you up to focus on application development instead of time-consuming database administration tasks including backups, software patching, monitoring, scaling and replication. In this webinar, we will provide an overview of Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL, discuss popular use cases, and share best practices that will help you fully leverage PostgreSQL in the cloud.
