@kapa.ai What postgresql version is used as the embedded database when installing Airbyte via helm chart?
k
Based on the knowledge sources, the default embedded database used when installing Airbyte via Helm chart is PostgreSQL 13.16 (from the
airbyte/db
image). [Postgres version issue] This version is notably older than the latest available PostgreSQL releases, and there is an open GitHub issue requesting an upgrade to a more recent version. The Airbyte team has noted that they upgraded their cloud environment to PostgreSQL 15 but the OSS (self-managed) default has not yet been updated. [Postgres version issue] > Note: For production deployments, Airbyte recommends using a dedicated external PostgreSQL instance (such as AWS RDS or GCP Cloud SQL) instead of the default internal database, for better reliability and backup support.

@kapa.ai So what is the supported postgresql version range if I do use an external database? This is for Airbyte version 2.0.1 or higher
k
The knowledge sources do not contain explicit information about the supported PostgreSQL version range for external databases with Airbyte version 2.0.1 or higher. What the knowledge sources do mention is: • One community user reported that PostgreSQL 13.15 worked for them when using an external RDS database. [External Postgres issue] • A forum post suggests ensuring your external PostgreSQL instance is version 13, as that's the version Airbyte requires for connection. [External DB forum] • The Airbyte cloud environment has been upgraded to PostgreSQL 15, suggesting compatibility with newer versions as well. However, I cannot provide a definitive supported version range specifically for Airbyte 2.0.1+ based on the available knowledge sources. I'd recommend checking the official Airbyte documentation or the Helm chart's
values.yaml
directly for the most accurate and up-to-date compatibility information for your specific version. šŸ‘ 0 button šŸ‘Ž 0 button ā„¹ļø Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
