# types-boto3-rds — Type annotations for boto3 RDS 1.43.62 service generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 2.9M/mo

## What it is and what it does

types-boto3-rds is a type stub package that adds static type annotations to boto3's RDS service client. It is generated from boto3 1.43.62 and works with VSCode, PyCharm, Emacs, Sublime Text, mypy, pyright, and other tools that support Python type hints. When installed, it enables your IDE to provide autocomplete suggestions and allows type checkers to catch errors in your RDS API calls without requiring explicit type annotations in your code.

The package is a pure stub-only distribution with minimal dependencies—just typing-extensions—making it lightweight to install. It supports Python 3.9 through 3.14 and includes type annotations for RDS clients, paginators, waiters, and service-specific literal types. The package is actively maintained and generated with mypy-boto3-builder 8.12.0.

Use it for:

- Enable IDE autocompletion and type checking for boto3 RDS calls in VSCode or PyCharm without manual type annotations.
- Catch RDS API usage errors at development time using mypy or pyright before running code.
- Provide type hints for RDS paginators and waiters to improve code clarity and IDE support.
- Use in projects that enforce strict type checking to ensure correct RDS client method calls and parameter types.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides type annotations and IDE autocompletion support for boto3 RDS 1.43.62, enabling static type checking with mypy, pyright, and other tools.

Yes. This is a lightweight, actively maintained type stub with no known vulnerabilities, permissive MIT licensing, and a single minimal dependency. Install it if you use boto3 RDS and want IDE autocompletion and static type checking. The only caveat is PyCharm's known performance issue with Literal overloads (PY-40997), which may warrant using the lite variant instead.

## Install

pip install types-boto3-rds
uv add types-boto3-rds
poetry add types-boto3-rds

## Installing types-boto3-rds

Before you install: Low friction install with a single lightweight dependency (typing-extensions). Actively maintained with recent releases; last commit 2026-06-22 and release 14 days old.

License in practice: MIT license permits unrestricted use, modification, and distribution in both open-source and proprietary projects.

Quickstart:

pip install types-boto3-rds

from boto3.session import Session
from types_boto3_rds import RDSClient

client: RDSClient = Session().client("rds")
# IDE now provides code completion and mypy checks client calls

Requires Python 3.9 or later; boto3 must be installed separately in your environment.

Verify before relying:

- Whether PyCharm performance issues mentioned in the description (issue PY-40997) still affect current versions.
- Whether the lite variant (types-boto3-lite) is recommended as a default over the full package for new projects.
