Aurora DSQL launches connector that simplifies building PHP applications

Today we are announcing the release of the Aurora DSQL Connector for PHP (PDO_PGSQL) that makes it easy to build PHP applications on Aurora DSQL. The PHP Connector streamlines authentication and eliminates security risks associated with traditional user-generated passwords by automatically generating tokens for each connection, ensuring valid tokens are always used while maintaining full compatibility with existing PDO_PGSQL features.

The connector handles IAM token generation, SSL configuration, and connection pooling, enabling customers to scale from simple scripts to production workloads without changing their authentication approach. It also provides opt-in optimistic concurrency control (OCC) retry with exponential backoff, custom IAM credential providers, and AWS profile support, making it easier to develop client retry logic and manage AWS credentials.

To get started, visit the Connectors for Aurora DSQL documentation page. For code examples, visit our GitHub page for the PHP connector. Get started with Aurora DSQL for free with the AWS Free Tier. To learn more about Aurora DSQL, visit the webpage.
