Amazon Aurora Description

Amazon Aurora is a cloud-based relational database that is compatible with both MySQL and PostgreSQL, merging the high performance and reliability of traditional enterprise databases with the ease and affordability of open-source solutions. Its performance surpasses that of standard MySQL databases by as much as five times and outpaces standard PostgreSQL databases by three times. Additionally, it offers the security, availability, and dependability synonymous with commercial databases, all at a fraction of the cost—specifically, one-tenth. Fully managed by the Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS), Aurora simplifies operations by automating essential tasks such as hardware provisioning, database configuration, applying patches, and conducting backups. The database boasts a self-healing, fault-tolerant storage system that automatically scales to accommodate up to 64TB for each database instance. Furthermore, Amazon Aurora ensures high performance and availability through features like the provision of up to 15 low-latency read replicas, point-in-time recovery options, continuous backups to Amazon S3, and data replication across three distinct Availability Zones, which enhances data resilience and accessibility. This combination of features makes Amazon Aurora an appealing choice for businesses looking to leverage the cloud for their database needs while maintaining robust performance and security.
