| ``POSTGRES_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT`` | The maximum time in seconds to spend attempting  | ``10``    |
|                                 | to create a new connection.                      |           |

If ``POSTGRES_URL`` uses a scheme of ``postgresql+srv``, a SRV DNS lookup will be
performed and the URL will be constructed containing all host and port combinations
in priority and weighted order, utilizing `libpq's supoprt <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/libpq-connect.html>`_
for multiple hosts in a URL.

AWS's ECS service discovery does not follow the SRV standard, but creates SRV
records. If ``POSTGRES_URL`` uses a scheme of ``aws+srv``, a SRV DNS lookup will be
performed using the correct format for ECS service discovery.
