Migrating PostgreSQL to OAuth: A Practical Path from Password-Based Auth

OAuth is the hot shift in PostgreSQL authentication. The official PostgreSQL 20.15 OAuth docs are the map you need.

What the docs cover - The docs spell out how OAuth Authorization/Authentication works in PostgreSQL 20.15. That clarity helps teams plan a move away from password-based flows. ^[1]

A practical migration mindset - A practical path starts with understanding the OAuth flow and how PostgreSQL integrates. Use the docs as your baseline as you map current auth methods to OAuth. ^[1]

Validation and next steps - Validation steps and testing are essential as you move from passwords to tokens. The docs provide the foundation for this planning. ^[1]

Closing thought: Keep the docs handy as you plot the move and watch for real-world integration details as you proceed. ^[1]
