Standard psycopg2 relies on system PostgreSQL libraries (libpq) that are not present in Lambda's execution environment. This package solves that by bundling a statically linked version of libpq, allowing you to connect to PostgreSQL databases directly from Lambda functions without additional layer setup or custom compilation.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies and installs as a simple wheel. It is intended as a drop-in replacement for psycopg2 in Lambda contexts, though its dormant maintenance status (last release 2022-07-02) means it may not track the latest psycopg2 features or security updates.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are deploying psycopg2 to AWS Lambda and do not want to manage custom compilation or Lambda layers. However, verify that the bundled PostgreSQL version and psycopg2 release remain compatible with your target Lambda runtime and database version, since the package has not been updated since 2022-07-02."},"id":"aws-psycopg2","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aws-psycopg2","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aws-psycopg2.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aws-psycopg2/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-07-02","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"aws-psycopg2","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A aws psycopg2 package from psycopg2."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3382210,"position":2643,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.3.8"}
