Webinar: Running Postgres on AWS: What’s New & How It Impacts Performance

Running Postgres on AWS gives you powerful managed infrastructure but also limits how much you can see under the hood. Learn what’s publicly known about how RDS Postgres and Aurora behave internally, how they differ from self-managed Postgres, and what you actually need to monitor to keep performance stable. We’ll also explore an alternative deployment model using the CloudNativePG operator on Amazon EKS and when it makes sense over RDS or Aurora.

In detail, we walk through

How Aurora’s distributed storage engine changes checkpoints, replication, and failover
Key differences between RDS, Aurora, and Postgres on Kubernetes (CloudNativePG)
What you can detect with AWS metrics and CloudWatch Database Insights and how pganalyze goes further by surfacing plan changes, vacuum issues, and slow queries that aren’t visible in built-in tools
What to monitor when you can’t access host-level internals
Effective approaches for Postgres log extraction in RDS/Aurora and EKS
Cost tradeoffs across deployment options, including the new AWS Database Savings Plans announced at re:Invent
