This project stemmed from a real-world scenario encountered in my professional role. It aims to address the need for establishing direct connections to development servers for troubleshooting and debugging purposes.
In the context of our project, there arose a necessity for developers to establish direct links to our development servers. This project facilitates the setup of a PostgreSQL database accessible from local PCs. Notably, our VPC operates on a private network, and communication is facilitated via VPC endpoints utilizing the AWS PrivateLink network infrastructure.
Moreover, this connectivity solution played a pivotal role during our penetration testing exercises, allowing us to identify and address any vulnerabilities stemming from residual artifacts or data manipulation.
To utilize this project effectively, follow these steps:

Configuration: Adjust configurations such as AWS credentials and database settings as per your environment.
-
Execution: Run the provided scripts to initiate the port forwarding setup.
-
Access: Once the setup is complete, access the PostgreSQL database from your local machine using the designated port.
