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.
