We are migrating a Spring Boot application to AWS Aurora PostgreSQL. Standard local JDBC URLs usually look like 'jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/mydb'. How should the JDBC URL, driver class name, and Hibernate dialect be specified for Aurora PostgreSQL with SSL required in application.properties?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Appends ?ssl=true&sslmode=require to the PostgreSQL JDBC connection URL. | Missed | Passed |
| Specifies org.postgresql.Driver as the driver class name. | Passed | Passed |
| Sets the dialect to org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect. | Passed | Passed |

Configure AWS RDS databases (Aurora, MySQL, PostgreSQL) with Spring Boot applications. Provides patterns for datasource configuration, HikariCP connection pooling, SSL connections, environment-specific configurations, and AWS Secrets Manager integration.
Use when configuring HikariCP connection pools for RDS workloads, implementing read/write split with Aurora replicas, setting up IAM database authentication, enabling SSL/TLS connections, managing database migrations with Flyway, or troubleshooting RDS connectivity issues.
Follow these steps to configure AWS RDS with Spring Boot:
Add Dependencies — Include Spring Data JPA, database driver (MySQL/PostgreSQL), and Flyway
Configure Datasource — Set connection properties in application.yml
Configure HikariCP — Optimize pool settings for your RDS workload
Set Up SSL — Enable encrypted connections to RDS
Configure Profiles — Set environment-specific configurations (dev/prod)
Add Migrations — Create Flyway scripts for schema management
Validate Connectivity — Run health check to verify database connection
If validation fails: Check security group rules, verify credentials, ensure RDS is accessible from your network, and confirm SSL certificate configuration.
Run Migrations — Apply Flyway migrations only after connectivity validation passes
