🕒 Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL now supports delayed read replicas, allowing you to specify a minimum time period for a replica to intentionally lag behind its source. This configurable time buffer helps protect against human errors such as accidental table drops or unwanted data modifications by preserving a recoverable replica state. In recovery workflows you can pause replication before problematic changes are applied, resume replication to a specific log position, and promote the replica as the new primary to achieve faster recovery than lengthy point-in-time restores.

🔁 Amazon RDS for Db2 now supports read replicas, allowing customers to add up to three replicas per instance to offload read-only workloads and reduce load on the primary database. Replicas can be created in the same Region or across Regions and use asynchronous replication so read queries do not impact the writer. You can promote a replica for disaster recovery to enable read/write operations. Note that IBM Db2 licenses are required for all replica vCPUs; customers may use On‑Demand licenses from the AWS Marketplace or BYOL.
