Today we are announcing the release of the Aurora DSQL Connector for Ruby (pg gem) that makes it easy to build Ruby applications on Aurora DSQL. The Ruby Connector streamlines authentication and eliminates security risks associated with traditional user-generated passwords by automatically generating tokens for each connection, ensuring valid tokens are always used while maintaining full compatibility with existing pg gem features.
The connector handles IAM token generation, SSL configuration, and connection pooling, enabling customers to scale from simple scripts to production workloads without changing their authentication approach. It also provides opt-in optimistic concurrency control (OCC) retry with exponential backoff, custom IAM credential providers, and AWS profile support, giving customers flexibility in how they manage their AWS credentials and handle transient failures.
To get started, visit the Connectors for Aurora DSQL documentation page. For code examples, visit our Github page for the Ruby connector. Get started with Aurora DSQL for free with the AWS Free Tier. To learn more about Aurora DSQL, visit the webpage.
