feat(database): enable Data API and connection logging#123
Merged
Conversation
Why: The Aurora Serverless v2 cluster lacks operational tooling for debugging and diagnostics. Without Data API, operators must use SSH tunneling via Bastion Host to run ad-hoc queries. Without connection logs, diagnosing unexpected auto-pause resumes or connection pool exhaustion requires guesswork. What: - Enable RDS Data API for direct SQL execution from AWS CLI/Console - Add log_connections and log_disconnections parameters - Export PostgreSQL logs to CloudWatch Logs with 1-week retention
