Amazon Aurora Review

Aurora vs Redshift:- Different Architectures. Redshift is faster as its engine is a modified version of Postgres and stores data column wise vs Aurora DB stores data Row wise.
- Performance and Scalability: If an organization requires high performance and the ability to scale seamlessly to handle varying workloads, Amazon Aurora's architecture is well-suited for these needs.
- High Availability: Organizations that prioritize uptime and require automatic failover in case of AZ failures can benefit from Aurora's multi-AZ deployments.
- Ease of Management: AWS's managed service approach reduces administrative burden, allowing organizations to focus on their applications rather than database maintenance.
- Security and Compliance: Aurora's security features make it appealing to organizations that deal with sensitive data or are subject to compliance regulations.
- Compatibility: Organizations already using MySQL or PostgreSQL may find it easier to migrate to Aurora while maintaining familiarity with the database engine.

Amazon Aurora - A Boost on Standard MySQL
Unlike proprietary solutions like Microsoft SQL Server, Amazon Aurora does not need proprietary licensing, so we can use this budget to get cloud solutions with high availability and performance, at a similar rate. When compared to MySQL or Postgres SQL, it allows us to have a database system always updated with the most current features and security best practices without having to worry about it. In normal database systems like MySQL to keep the database system up to date we need to have someone always looking for new upgrades.
As it relies on MySQL there is no extra formation for a team that is already used to a MySQL solution.

Aurora vs Percona: Aurora comes well integrated with the AWS ecosystem. So, easier to integrate into the overall infrastructure if you are already on AWS.
