Do you plan on adding support for managed PostgreSQL services like RDS in the future?

We can’t control the extensions RDS allows to be installed, and they are historically conservative. Lev and I do have some fairly extensive experience with replication patterns to Postgres instances running in EC2. Foreign data wrappers are also an option, and depending on workload may be a good horizontal scaling strategy in addition.

Will that also apply to plans? I'd love to see ML models come up with better plans, if possible.

I just gave it a try to install on Crunchy Bridge [1], disclaimer I work at Crunchy Data. I did this as a standard user vs. anything special about access. I got quite close, but looks like I'm limited by Python version, we give you plpython3u with Python 3.6. Is there any chance of supporting an earlier 3.x version? If so I'm pretty sure could give a guide on how to self-install on top of us.

Awesome. I'll see what it'll take to get the extension running w/ Python 3.6. It's good to know what people's ecosystem dependencies look like.

Just in case you were not aware, Python 3.6 reached end of life ~4 months ago: https://endoflife.date/python

Amazon Aurora already has ML extensions for connecting to AWS SageMaker and AWS Comprehend. I doubt they'd add another, especially one they didn't write and isn't integrated with their existing lineup. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide...
