Episode notes
Test Postgres 18 In RDS Preview Before Upgrading
- Use the RDS Postgres preview environment to test Postgres 18 features and query execution improvements before upgrading production.
- Validate index and observability changes in your workload to confirm real benefit prior to migration.

- Neptune supports public endpoints and integrates with NetworkX to offload graph algorithms to Neptune Analytics for scalable computation.
- This removes local ETL friction and lets large graph workloads scale without refactoring code.
