Amazon Aurora

Overview of Amazon Aurora

Amazon Aurora delivers exceptional high performance and global availability for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and DSQL database workloads. This fully managed relational database service offers up to 5x the throughput of standard MySQL and 3x that of PostgreSQL while maintaining full compatibility with both database engines. Aurora DSQL provides the fastest distributed SQL performance with PostgreSQL compatibility, making it ideal for demanding applications requiring massive scale across multiple regions without infrastructure management overhead.

Designed for enterprise-grade reliability, Amazon Aurora achieves up to 99.999% multi-region availability with fault-tolerant distributed storage. The service supports globally distributed applications while meeting broad compliance standards and enterprise security requirements. Organizations benefit from significant cost savings through Aurora's serverless option, which automatically scales capacity and charges only for resources consumed.
