Redshift

Amazon's managed data warehouse, Postgres-compatible wire protocol.

Connection fields

FieldRequiredDescription
hostYesHostname or IP address of the Redshift cluster endpoint.
portNoDefaults to 5439.
userYesUsername to authenticate with.
passwordNoPassword for user.
dbnameYesDatabase name to connect to.
sslmodeNoOne of "disable", "prefer" (default), or "require".

Redshift speaks the Postgres wire protocol, so this connector is the Postgres connector registered under a different type name and default port — Redshift-specific SQL dialect differences from standard Postgres aren't specially validated.

Example configuration

{
  "host": "my-cluster.abc123.us-east-1.redshift.amazonaws.com",
  "port": 5439,
  "user": "arcodash_reader",
  "password": "••••••••",
  "dbname": "analytics",
  "sslmode": "require"
}

Caveats

  • arcodash needs network access to reach the cluster endpoint, so the cluster's security group must accept connections from the internet. arcodash doesn't publish a fixed set of outbound addresses to allowlist — enable SSL/TLS rather than relying on IP filtering.
