I'm curious about those of you who are interested in this -- what's your use case for PostgreSQL on Amazon Linux? Why are you not using RDS?

For us, the use case is Citus (not available for RDS). I'm curious what it is is for others, if you'd care to share. Maybe we could build some mutually beneficial connections.

Why are you self-hosting? Cost optimization? Better security? Legacy architecture? Citus?

@mattklein I need the postgres client for a secured bastion, not the server itself.
