Aurora PostgreSQL keeps PostgreSQL wire compatibility, so DbSchema connects with the standard PostgreSQL JDBC driver and pulls tables, views, sequences, functions, and extensions into one design model — diagrammed, documented, and compared across environments.
Trusted by teams at
Aurora replicates the data, promotes replicas, and even spans regions with Global Database. What it never does is tell you whether staging still matches production, or which of the cluster's schemas gained a column last sprint.
DbSchema adds the missing layer: one model of the whole cluster, focused diagrams per domain, and environment comparisons that end the guessing.
The daily work of a cluster team, gathered in one desktop tool.
Connect to the cluster endpoint and DbSchema lays out tables, views, sequences, and extensions as diagrams you arrange by bounded context.
Join tables, add conditions, and aggregate visually. The builder emits standard PostgreSQL syntax, so the same query serves Aurora, Serverless v2, and self-hosted clusters.
Compare two clusters, or the model against a live one, and generate targeted migration SQL. Global Database primary and secondary regions fit as separate profiles in one project.
The design model is a file in your repository. A new column, an added index, a dropped table — each lands as a commit your reviewers can read. After the merge, DbSchema turns the approved diff into PostgreSQL DDL and carries it into the cluster you choose.
The cluster listens on the standard PostgreSQL port 5432, and the
PostgreSQL JDBC driver downloads automatically —
Aurora PostgreSQL is wire-compatible. The URL takes the form
jdbc:postgresql://cluster.cluster-id.region.rds.amazonaws.com:5432/dbname;
append ?ssl=true&sslmode=require to enforce TLS in transit.
IAM database authentication is supported: grant the user the rds_iam role and pass a
short-lived RDS auth token as the password. Aurora Serverless v2 uses the same endpoint and port,
since capacity scaling stays invisible to the JDBC driver.
One installer, no account: free Community Edition plus a 15-day Architect trial.
Teams working with Aurora PostgreSQL often use these engines too. Explore dedicated guides and JDBC setup for each.
