+---------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------+-----------+
| ``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 lowest priority record with the highest weight will be selected
for connecting to Postgres.

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. The lowest priority
record with the highest weight will be selected for connecting to Postgres.
