Description

Right now the database also runs within the EC2 instance where AKD labs is deployed. We need to migrate the database to Postgres RDS instance.
Current size of the db: ~400MBs
No extensions used

Targeted RDS Postgres instance:
Postgres engine version > 17.0
Size: db.t3.medium ( 2vCPUs, 4GB) or db.t3.large ( 2vCPUs, 8GB)
DB secrets to be stored AWS secrets manager

The migrations will run in AWS lambda OR the EC2 instance
