Support built-in high availability and fault toleranceĪurora Serverless provides an on demand, auto-scaling, high-availability relational database that only charges you when it’s in use. Yes, serverless has servers (I’m getting sick of typing this 🤦🏻♂️), but the general idea is that for something to be “serverless”, it should: Now let’s talk about the “serverless” part. This extra power (and convenience) comes with an added cost (~23% more per hour), but I’ve found it to be well worth it. It’s fully-managed, ridiculously fast (up to 5x faster than MySQL), and can scale using shared-storage read replicas and multi availability zone deployments. Aurora is Amazon’s “MySQL and PostgreSQL compatible relational database built for the cloud, that combines the performance and availability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open source databases.” If you are using MySQL or PostgreSQL, you can basically migrate to Aurora without any changes to your application code.

The announcement gives a great overview and the official User Guide is chock full of interesting and useful information, so I definitely suggest giving those a read. There are A LOT of limitations with this first release, but I believe that Amazon will do what Amazon does best, and keep iterating until this thing is rock solid. Amazon announced the General Availability of Aurora Serverless on August 9, 2018. I have been playing around with the preview of Aurora Serverless for a few months, and I must say that overall, I’m very impressed.
