What is Amazon Aurora?
Amazon Aurora is a MySQL and PostgreSQL-compatible relational database built for the cloud, built to combine the performance and availability of enterprise databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open source databases. The vendor states Amazon Aurora is up to 5X faster than MySQL databases and 3X faster than PostgreSQL databases, and that it provides the security, availability, and reliability of commercial databases at 1/10th the cost.
Amazon Aurora features a distributed, fault-tolerant, self-healing storage system that auto-scales up to 64TB per database instance. It delivers performance and availability with up to 15 low-latency read replicas, point-in-time recovery, continuous backup to Amazon S3, and replication across three Availability Zones (AZs).
The vendor invites readers to learn more details on how they designed Amazon Aurora, from AWS CTO, Werner Vogels.

Great, intuitive and a must have with larger businesses
- Concurrency
- Excellent transaction time
- Perfect compatibility with our sites
- Ease of scaling
- Little less transparent on insights
- Non-availability of standalone solutions. I understand amazon aims for cloud based solution. But having a facility with standalone will look great
- Lastly, of course pricing could be more dynamic so we can only pay for what we opt for

Best Serverless computing platform.
- Able to work on very big databases without any interruptions.
- One of the best things about Aurora is everything is hosted in the cloud with wider capabilities.
- It is easy to implement, and the interface is easy to access.
- Very quick instances can be connected without the loss of data.
- Its interface is quite simple but repetitive in nature.
- Database authentication problems can be improved.
- Sometimes logical errors occur which is annoying in nature.

Cost effective
- Cost effective relational database
- High availability in multiple regions
- Fully managed
- I/O costs are incurred
- Not fully MySQL compatible especially if you’re using something very specific to mysql
- Might hit the upper limit on max number of connections

Amazon Aurora - what an excellent solution for Database problems
- No need to provision storage nor IOPS for the disks
- Automatics continuos backups with the possibility to point-in-time restore in new database or backtrack to a point in time in the same database
- Increase availability by using Read Replicas and also distributing read capacity using them for queries
- If using Aurora Serverles v2 one thing missing is the possibility to reduce it to 0 ACU

Resource Manager/Recruiter
- Provides continuous backups while other applications are running without causing any interruption in production.
- Provides built-in security features i.e. encryption at rest and in-transit, making sure that our data is secure both during storage and transmission.
- Allows us to easily monitor the database's performance metrics and analyze them to optimize query performance and identify any potential issues.
- Improve the ability to handle time zone conversions and daylight saving time.
- Geospatial data is becoming increasingly important in various applications, and Aurora currently lacks built-in support for geospatial data types and functions.
- I think allowing and enchancing schema changes would improve the overall database management experience.
