Despite some initial bumps, Aurora has been a fantastic upgrade from RDS MySQL

What do you like best? I really like Performance Insights. It gives us great visibility into load and performance issues. It's an invaluable debugging tool. What do you dislike? Our biggets issue has been hash joins. We turned on lab mode to get FastDDL and it also enabled 3 other features, one of which was hash joins, which tanked our performance on a certain, frequent query. To turn off hash joins you need the run "SET hash_join=off,hash_join_cost_based=off". Best way to do this is ...

Enterprise RDBMS out of the box

What do you like best? I couldnt achieve any of this performance and durability with any free open-source alternatives. It works very well and is durable. If your schema and config is laid out well you can just sit back and watch your DB scale. What do you dislike? Some of the internals is a littlebit invisible, which makes it tricky with certain things such as binlogs. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? RDBMS storage, we save money ...

My IT guy has been raving since he implemented!

What do you like best? While I don't know as much technically speaking about the product, I'm aware of the positive impact it's made as our business scales and grows. Our IT guy used to be so unhappy and would always complain about his cloud based options but since this shift, he's been very pleasant and overall seems pleased. Plus,.from what I've heard operationally speaking -- it costs us les than our previous MS solution. What do you dislike? I don't really know if there are any ...
