Postgres Summit US2026

Amazon has a long history with PostgreSQL, whether it be internal company adoption or the many AWS services built around it. In this session, Robert Treat looks back across Amazon's journey with PostgreSQL, from its large-scale migration from Oracle to the creation of Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL. He also takes a brief look at how Amazon is making use of PostgreSQL today through current offerings, like Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL and Amazon Aurora DSQL. We will conclude our conversation with a look at how AWS is working within the PostgreSQL community to address new and emerging database challenges.
