​
Connect Isofold to Aurora

Isofold supports Aurora PostgreSQL by acting as a SQL-level TCP proxy. You can point any Postgres-compatible client or application to the Isofold endpoint, and queries will be optimized transparently.

​
Update your connection string

Modify your app or CLI configuration to route traffic through the Isofold proxy:

postgres://user:password@myteam.proxy.isofold.com:5432/dbname

Make sure the proxy has network access to your Aurora instance (via VPC or tunnel, depending on where Isofold is hosted).

​
CLI Example

Using psql:

psql "postgres://user:password@myteam.proxy.isofold.com:5432/dbname"

​
Application Example (Node.js)

import { Pool } from 'pg'

const pool = new Pool({
  connectionString: 'postgres://user:password@myteam.proxy.isofold.com:5432/dbname'
})

For Aurora deployments, we strongly recommend running Isofold within the same VPC or region as your database.

See self-hosted setup to:

  • Run via Docker or Fly.io
  • Connect to your internal Aurora endpoint
  • Avoid external network hops

​
Enable Verification Mode

Enable auditing by comparing original and rewritten queries:

export ISOFOLD_VERIFY_MODE=true

This is especially useful for sensitive production workloads.

​
Observability

Once integrated:

  • The Isofold dashboard will show query rewrites
  • You’ll see per-query savings and output diffs
  • You can analyze performance impacts of rewrite strategies
