AWS workshops provide free resources to tackle real-world challenges using AWS infrastructure, and a new workshop focuses on integrating Neon as a development environment with AWS RDS to enhance Postgres development workflows. Neon enables the creation of isolated, ephemeral environments quickly, which reduces operational overhead and allows for seamless integration with AWS RDS without the need for complex production migrations. It provides the ability to spin up and discard environments as needed, ensuring data consistency and enabling automated environment creation via CI/CD pipelines. The workshop covers setting up a synchronized copy of an RDS database in Neon, creating multiple isolated environments using database branching, and automating synchronization processes using GitHub Actions. Additionally, the workshop provides best practices for efficient workflows, emphasizing cost-effectiveness and responsiveness through features like Neon’s scale-to-zero capability.
