Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Aurora

My organization uses Amazon Aurora as a database to store customer request information at scale. We also scan the database at a minimum of every 10 minutes to produce telemetry towards insights on customer usage
  • Scalability
  • Availability
  • Low Latency
  • Reasonable Cost
  • Schema update was challenging, but it is difficult for RDBMS in general
  • low cost to serve customer traffic
  • high availability
We promise our customer 4 9s availability. This is a strict requirement internally. With Amazon Aurora, we were able to achieve this
They're all great products to use and it really varies on your business use case. We picked Amazon Aurora because of its high availability support and scales very well
