> Do i search for Postgres?
Yes. In your AWS console right after logging in. And pretty much all of your other setup and config questions are answered by just filling out the web form right there. No sshing to change the parameters they are all available right there.
> And what happens if it uses too much resources?
It can't. You've chosen how much resources (CPU/Memory/Disk) to give it. Run away cloud costs are bill by usage stuff like redshift, s3, lambda, etc.
I'm a strong advocate for self (for some value of self) hosting over cloud, but your making cloud out to be far more difficult than it is.
