Concentrate on software, not on infrastructure

What do you like best? Easy to work, trustworthy, accountable, durable and powerful. Two variants (PostgreSQL or MySQL) come with this product. Automatically scale SSD storage of up to 50 TB does not mean you need to worry about resizing database storage (= fully managed hardware). It uses SSL to secure the data not only at endpoints but also via the transmission layer. Data can be stored in Germany. What do you dislike? Prices are somewhat costly if you are a new business or a ...

Amazon Aurora in a nutshell is "simplicity

What do you like best? There are a lot of things that I like about Amazon Aurora, but I would have to say the best feature if I had to choose out of the many would be being fully managed hardware. What do you dislike? There is not much I can say that I dislike. If I had to choose it would be if someone wanted to know more about the underlying system specs and source code. Recommendations to others considering the product: If you don't want to run hardware to run a database use ...

Suggesting a config for our usage will be better I think. Recommendations to others considering the product: Consider the pricing and auto suggest configurations that are needed for client usages for optimal cost. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I was looking for ...

Scalable Relational Database Service

What do you like best? Aurora comes in two flavors - PostgreSQL or MySQL, so you can pick the relational database that's best for your needs. Auto-scaling SSD Storage currently up to 64TB as well means never having to worry about resizing the database storage. What do you dislike? Aurora is both vertically (instance size) and horizontally (# of nodes) scalable - however, it should be noted that when adding additional nodes to the cluster, they are read-only. All Insert/Update/Delete ...

What do you like best? The first time we tested using Aurora we migrated a MSSQL database using the migration tool. In less than 30 minutes the DB was migrated and up and running in Aurora.
