Getting started

Requirements

To use the Postgres destination, you'll need:

A Postgres server version 9.4 or above

Setup guide

Network Access

Make sure your Postgres database can be accessed by Airbyte. If your database is within a VPC, you may need to allow access from the IP you're using to expose Airbyte.

Permissions

You need a Postgres user that can create tables and write rows. We highly recommend creating an Airbyte-specific user for this purpose.

Target Database

You will need to choose an existing database or create a new database that will be used to store synced data from Airbyte.

Setup the Postgres destination in Airbyte

You should now have all the requirements needed to configure Postgres as a destination in the UI. You'll need the following information to configure the Postgres destination:
