Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have migrated some of our Amazon RDS workloads to Amazon Aurora with the hope of achieving better performance, scalability, security, and fault tolerance.

Reliability and Availability

I haven't used many other database-as-a-service providers, but so far Amazon Aurora has delivered on its promise of high availability.

Alternatives Considered

Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)

In my opinion, Amazon Aurora has all of the advantages of Amazon RDS for MySQL, with additional performance benefits.

I think Amazon Aurora is well suited for migrating on-premise MySQL databases to the cloud, or for migrating existing Amazon RDS instances to a platform that's more suited for concurrency and high throughput applications. In my opinion, it's not (currently) appropriate for any database engines other than MySQL and PostgreSQL.

Even better than Amazon RDS
