Does anyone know whether an Elastic Beanstalk (EB) instance can be deployed with a Postgres RDS?

While Postgres is one of four options for RDS, the EB doc curiously only mentions the three others: MS SQL, Oracle and MySQL, but no Postgres.

Context: my current goal is to deploy a simple Django web site and later on possibly compare its development/maintenance ease and performance with a Sails.js web site.

Yes postrgres is supported.

http://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2013/12/11/aws-elastic-beanstalk-adds-background-task-handling-and-rds-postgresql-support/

It could be a miss in the doc page. Setting "DBEngine" option setting to "postgres" should work.

Let me know if you need more help setting up postgres.

  • I would appreciate a sample option settings list for deploying a postgres rds database with the eb application. I cannot get one launched using something like:('aws:rds:dbinstance', 'DBAllocatedStorage', '5'), ('aws:rds:dbinstance', 'DBEngine', 'postgresql'), ('aws:rds:dbinstance', 'DBEngineVersion', '9.3'), ('aws:rds:dbinstance', 'DBInstanceClass', 'db.t2.micro'), ('aws:rds:dbinstance', 'DBPassword', self.rds_password), ('aws:rds:dbinstance', 'DBUser', self.rds_username), – user319862 Sep 25 '14 at 16:21
  • Well I submitted that comment with the option settings formatted like that by mistake because I hit the enter key, but I guess is readable enough – user319862 Sep 25 '14 at 16:22
