In this chapter, you learned about DBaaS options through Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL. Through a step-by-step project for the storage of banking ATM machine locations inside New York City, you researched how to use Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL DBaaS. Now you are well versed regarding DBaaS within the common tasks of the AWS cloud. You practiced how to create a PostgreSQL RDS and how to connect to that RDS from pgAdmin. Then, you also acquired skills to delete, back up, restore, and maintain a PostgreSQL RDS. You also learned how to restore a database and recover PostgreSQL to a specific point in time.Â
In the next chapter, we will create a step-by-step NodeJS project and use the PostgreSQL RDS created in this chapter to implement a RESTful API.
