I don't think I can get any extensions loaded if I use RDS. They've basically handicapped what I'm reading is one of the most useful features of postgres

They publish a list of available extensions here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/CHAP_...

But compared to the wide and wonderful world of available options, this list is extremely short, and missing basically all of the Foreign Data Wrappers.

For security reasons, I guess.

You can't really just let people load any old .so that could happily fopen() anything it wants on the host etc. They need to vet them.
