Common questions about Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL releases and lifecycle.
How long does AWS support each RDS PostgreSQL version?
AWS typically supports each PostgreSQL major version for about 5 years after the community release, aligned with the PostgreSQL community EOL schedule.
What happens when my RDS PostgreSQL version reaches end of life?
AWS automatically upgrades your instance to the next supported major version during a maintenance window. Plan manual upgrades to maintain control.
How often is RDS PostgreSQL version data updated?
Version data is refreshed every 6 hours from endoflife.date, which aggregates official AWS documentation and PostgreSQL community announcements.
Which RDS PostgreSQL version should I use for new deployments?
Use the latest major version available. As of 2026, PostgreSQL 17 is recommended, with PostgreSQL 18 becoming available on RDS shortly after community release.
