In this quick start, we deploy two production-grade Postgres databases on AWS
using Terraform:

- A standalone Amazon RDS for Postgres instance
- An Amazon Aurora Postgres-compatible cluster

Both databases are deployed using the same infrastructure pattern, following
AWS best practices for networking, security, and credential management.

This video shows:

- How to run the build
- What infrastructure gets created
- A short walkthrough and demo of the running environments

No theory, no comparisons, and no deep Terraform walkthroughs — just a working
Postgres reference architecture you can clone and run.

What This Project Deploys

- Custom VPC, subnets, and routing
- Security groups with controlled access
- RDS Postgres instance
- Aurora Postgres cluster with writer and reader
- Credentials stored in AWS Secrets Manager
- pgweb server for database access
- Pagila sample database loaded automatically
Who This Is For

- Cloud and DevOps engineers
- Anyone who wants a clean Postgres-on-AWS baseline
- Viewers who want a working example, not a lecture

Implementation details and customization options are documented in the
repository.
