Asked By CreativeNinja92 On

I'm looking into Amazon Aurora DSQL and came across the fact that identity tokens have expiration dates. Can anyone explain why this is the case? Additionally, how can I implement a reliable reconnection mechanism when the token expires?

It would be great if they offered a DataAPI that links the session to the Role's expiration time. That way, you'd eliminate the need for a PostgreSQL client and could just use the AWS SDK in your preferred programming language.

Identity tokens in Aurora are designed to be temporary. This means they have a short lifespan which enhances security by reducing the risk of token leakage. Instead of relying on long-lived credentials that can be exposed, these short-lived tokens help ensure safe, controlled access to the database.
