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
