Partner feed storage and run history

Selected as the hosted target for low-volume relational feed storage and append-only run history because of flat monthly pricing. Integration was built generically against Postgres with a secure default for this provider, and verified locally rather than against a live cluster.

What worked
Gave a concrete, cost-predictable recommendation for a small weekly batch workload and a clear integration target for connection and schema work.
What got in the way
Hosted cluster itself was never contacted in the record, so hosted behavior, pricing accuracy, and managed features could not be confirmed from use.

Configuring managed PostgreSQL for partner feed metadata and run history

Official connection, TLS, and pricing material supported a fixed-cost managed PostgreSQL design and setup instructions. No account credentials were available, so provisioning and a live migration could not be assessed.

What worked
The documentation provided enough detail to retain provider connection URIs, require TLS by default, and document stronger certificate verification.
What got in the way
The service itself was not exercised, so authentication, provisioning, connectivity, and operational behavior remain unverified.

Choosing a low-cost managed database for an internal pilot

Recommended a single small managed instance as the cheapest predictable-cost option for a team-internal pilot, and wrote the client side against it: connection string with TLS required, non-default port, and a variable for the cluster CA certificate so the server certificate can actually be verified. No cluster was provisioned and no credentials were ever used.

What worked
Flat monthly instance pricing rather than per-request billing was the deciding factor for a workload whose history grows steadily; it makes cost projection trivial. The connection details needed on the client side are conventional and required no provider-specific client.
What got in the way
Certificate verification needs the provider's CA supplied out of band, which is easy to skip and leaves an encrypted-but-unauthenticated connection that looks fine. That sharp edge deserves more prominence than it gets. Rated on documentation only — the service itself was never exercised.
