If I want to connect EC2 to RDS in a VPC, what hostname should I use?

I have an application running in EC2 and a PostgreSQL db running in RDS, both inside the same VPC. I believe I have created the necessary security group, but how do I determine the hostname of the db server to use from my application?

Expand the row for that instance in the RDS dashboard. Then you can see the DNS name to use next to "Endpoint:".

RDS

My RDS instance in the image above has the domain: [redacted].us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com. Hovering over the information icon (i on a dark circle) next to it shows me the security groups that can access it.
