This is the ONLY decent tutorial on creating and connecting to Aurora. Thank you!

[@BeABetterDev]

You're very welcome!

[@mathewkargarzadeh3158]

Excellent illustration on Postgres database creation how to connect to it!!. You made it easy to understand the process. Thank you for tine and effort for posting this. My gratitude to you !!!. Mat.

[@BeABetterDev]

You're very welcome!

[@JoshPeak]

25:36-29:19 on why there is a network timeout was the least obvious thing to debug. I went straight to this channel since I was confident you would have had a screencast already covering how to do this. You are a legend. That ~4 minutes of video was critical. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@tiffanybonnici8003]

Great video! You are super cute!

[@nikhilarora7848]

How to ensure that Aurora PostegreSql is CIS compliant?

[@letmein985]

life-saved with all these security groups!

[@subrat12345]

Anyone working on migration of database in AWS - On premises to RDS or Aurora … I do have some doubts to clarify one on one

[@yogishankar1]

Thank you for creating this tutorial !!!

[@jsantos1220]

Witch will be the monthly price on this db? im so confuse with that, the proxy option its like the expensive thing and i don't know if thats necessary for me.

[@hnguyen336]

As for public accessibility, can you show us what steps we have to take if we want it for production and setting public accessibility as no? Overall, great stuff! I reply on your channel when it comes to learning aws

[@BeABetterDev]

Hi H!
There are some great recommendations on this type of scenario at the following link: docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/USER_VPC.WorkingWithRDSInstanceinaVPC.html
Hope this helps!

[@Matthias53787]

That's what I came here for also. Is it a best practice to set Public=true for setup like when creating tables, and then turning it off?
Or do people run pgAdmin in an EC2? I tried this but for the life of me I can't install pgAdmin successfully 😢

[@LifeOfMohammed]

You never want the public to access your database! You should only allow internal routes and your frontend just call the API

[@Jellonova]

I can't connect to my database in pgadmin after following these steps :(

[@gnupinguin]

The best tutorial for Aurora PostgreSQL setting. Thank you!

[@jntlima]

Great video!
What is your suggestion to access the database when we have a private scenario, like a production one?

[@ohDindi]

did you find a solution to this?

[@akhileshbangera9153]

Great video. Would like to knw.. before the database instance wala created, it was a reader instance. When you fast forwarded it was the "writer" instance. Can you please explain why?

[@sandv2902]

Would that work same for Aurora Serverless?
Can you please help to create AWS service catalog with postgresql

[@inkdry101]

Gotta love these AWS how to videos . AWS constantly changes their UI. Already outdated and irrelevant

[@ektan000]

[@takibahmed8859]
