Instead of managing database passwords, it integrates with AWS IAM to generate short-lived connection tokens based on your IAM identity. The package supports both synchronous (psycopg2) and asynchronous (asyncpg) PostgreSQL drivers and works with SQLAlchemy 1.3, 1.4, and 2.0.\n\nThe dialect eliminates the need to modify your application code or maintain custom event handlers\u2014you simply use a special connection string scheme (postgresql+psycopg2rdsiam:// or postgresql+asyncpgrdsiam://) and let the package handle token generation via boto3. It also offers optional features like automatic database creation, custom AWS region selection, and built-in RDS certificate bundle handling for SSL verification.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. Install if you need IAM authentication for RDS PostgreSQL and can accept dormant maintenance (last release 2023-11-08). The package is simple, low-friction to install, and solves a real problem without requiring code changes. However, verify that it remains compatible with your SQLAlchemy, psycopg2/asyncpg, and boto3 versions before deploying to production. Clarify the license terms before use in proprietary contexts."},"id":"sqlalchemy-rdsiam","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-rdsiam","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sqlalchemy-rdsiam.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sqlalchemy-rdsiam/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-11-08","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"sqlalchemy-rdsiam","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"SQLAlchemy dialects to connect to Amazon RDS instances with IAM authentication"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":81764,"position":14203,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.3"}
