Amazon RDS Endpoint

Amazon RDS endpoints model managed relational databases on AWS, commonly PostgreSQL-compatible RDS or Aurora instances.

Endpoint Kind

Use rds as the endpoint kind when creating this endpoint through the API or dashboard.

What Eve Uses This Endpoint For

Connect Eve to managed AWS relational databases.
Apply the same RBAC, audit, and query controls as self-managed SQL endpoints.
Plan migrations between RDS, Aurora, and external database services.
Capture AWS region and instance context for operations.

Basic Endpoint Shape

json

{
  "endpoint": "rds-prod",
  "kind": "rds",
  "config": {
    "read_conn": {
      "host": "mydb.abc123.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com",
      "port": 5432,
      "user": "admin",
      "password": "secret",
      "database": "app",
      "sslmode": "require"
    }
  }
}

Create it with the endpoint API:

bash

curl -sS -X POST "$EDEN/endpoints" \
  -H "$AUTH_HEADER" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "endpoint": "rds-prod",
  "kind": "rds",
  "config": {
    "read_conn": {
      "host": "mydb.abc123.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com",
      "port": 5432,
      "user": "admin",
      "password": "secret",
      "database": "app",
      "sslmode": "require"
    }
  }
}'

Configuration Fields

Field	Purpose
`host`	RDS endpoint hostname
`port`	Database port
`user`	Database username
`password`	Database password
`database`	Database name
`sslmode`	PostgreSQL SSL mode when applicable

Operating Notes

Document the actual engine family: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, or SQL Server.
Use engine-specific endpoint docs for query and migration semantics.
Prefer IAM/network controls plus least-privilege database roles.
