anybody know how quickly does RDS upgrade to newer versions of Postgres.

I'm really, really keen to use 9.5 jsonb with its insert/update changes.

While you wait, check out http://stackoverflow.com/a/23500670/229006

My plan is to rely on these functions for now, and switch to the native implementations once 9.5 is production ready on RDS.

They have a policy not to say anything or make any promises. That said, using history as a guide, it seems to take them about 2.5 months after a major release to add support.
