psycopg2driver for PostgreSQL) requires the URI to be in the formatpostgresql+psycopg2://. - This prefix specifies the dialect (

Comparing AWS, DigitalOcean, Heroku, and Vercel: Understanding Cloud Service Providers and Their Offerings
AWS is one of the most comprehensive cloud computing platforms available. It offers a vast array of services, including compute power (EC2), storage (S3), databases (RDS), machine learning, networking, and much more. AWS provides a range of solutions from Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) to Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and even Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), making it highly suitable for enterprises that need robust and scalable infrastructure.
AWS is known for its flexibility and breadth of services but can be complex to configure due to its enterprise-level features. It is perfect for large-scale applications that require advanced features like auto-scaling, load balancing, and security configurations across multiple regions.
