How RDS Proxy Works

Setup

  1. Create an RDS Proxy for your existing RDS or Aurora database.
  2. The proxy connects to the database and manages connection pooling and authentication.

Application Connection

  • Applications (or users) connect to the RDS Proxy endpoint instead of directly connecting to the database.
  • The proxy handles the underlying database connections, ensuring efficient connection pooling and failover management.

Authentication

RDS Proxy supports the following authentication mechanisms:

  1. IAM Authentication:
    • Applications/users authenticate using AWS IAM roles or tokens.
  2. Secrets Manager Integration:
    • The proxy securely fetches database credentials from AWS Secrets Manager.
