Large partitioned table of 5+ billion rows and 7TB in size.

ALTER TABLE abc ADD CONSTRAINT fk_123 FOREIGN KEY (a,b,c) REFERENCES xyz(1,2,3);

It seems this is not parallelized. Is there a way. Or directly going into each partition is the only way ( not even sure it is possible).

In vanilla Postgresql (including RDS Postgresql) you can add the FK to each partition and then ALTER TABLE ONLY the parent table.

Don't know about Aurora, though.
