AWS Aurora Insights

What is AWS Aurora?

Amazon Aurora is a fully managed, MySQL and PostgreSQL-compatible, relational database engine. It combines the speed and reliability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open-source databases. Aurora is commonly used for applications that require high performance, availability, and scalability, such as e-commerce platforms, gaming applications, and financial systems. It's particularly suited for workloads requiring low latency and high throughput, while also automating tasks like provisioning, patching, backup, recovery, failure detection, and repair.
