Setting up TimescaleDB on AWS cannot utilize managed services like AWS RDS or AWS RDS Custom. Users must choose between subscription hosting services or manual installation on AWS for greater control. Manual setup necessitates accessing an EC2 instance via SSH for software installation. Additionally, configuring access to the database server requires opening port 5432 for remote connections. For production environments, securing direct database access by limiting it to the VPC is recommended. Other third-party tools like Git and version management with asdf are essential for project setup.
