Simple relational database for your applications!
What do you like best? The ability to stand up a database in minutes and have the reliability at the same time! What do you dislike?

Not all features you'd typically see in SQL Server are available in MySQL. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? The ability to have ...

Overall, great.

Aurora rocks
What do you like best? Point in time restore, fully managed, highly scalable What do you dislike? Occasional crashes without diagnostics, empty logs are annoying and useless. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Fully managed mysql. Peace of mind that even if it crashes, it will fail over to our replica and life will continue.

One of the biggest deals in databases in a long time
What do you like best? The tech behind the scenes is super cool, but more importantly the speed and cost improvements over traditional DBs are amazing. What do you dislike? The biggest issue is one that is unlikely to be addressed by the service itself: MS SQL support. Coming from a market heavy in MS SQL Server, it can be hard to convince clients to give something like Postgres a try, even though when coupled with Aurora it could save them money and increase performance. ...
