Hello everyone,

My organization is using Nexus free edition and we are in the process of Migrating Nexus from On-prem to AWS. I checked that Nexus uses orientdb, but do we have an option for nexus to use an external database service Amazon RDS when we migrate to AWS?

Our only externalized database option is Postgres, but it’s not available in the free version.
