Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Aurora
- Primarily use it in our core payments platform given that we need strong ACID properties but we’re looking to transition to dynamodb soon given that dynamodb also has transaction semantics
- It is our de facto database for starting any new microservice
- 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
- Fully managed letting engineering teams self manage also lessening the burden on platform/devops
- Automated backups and ability to restore snasphots of data
- Cost effective
