About:
Basti is a command-line tool that creates secure, temporary access tunnels to AWS resources like RDS databases and Elasticache clusters within private VPCs. It automatically manages bastion hosts and network configurations, eliminating the need for manual SSH tunneling or public exposure. This simplifies secure database management for developers working with cloud infrastructure.
Key Features:
  • Automated bastion host provisioning and management
  • Secure tunneling to RDS, Elasticache, and other VPC resources
  • No manual SSH configuration required
  • Temporary access that automatically cleans up resources
  • Support for multiple AWS accounts and regions
Use Cases:
  • Developers needing secure access to production databases for debugging
  • Database administrators requiring temporary VPC access without VPN setup
  • CI/CD pipelines needing secure database connections during deployments
  • Teams working with AWS resources in private subnets
Alternatives:
  • aws-ssm – Requires more manual configuration for tunneling
  • sshuttle – General VPN tool, not AWS-specific
  • pgcli with tunneling – Manual SSH setup required, no automation
