About Company

Amazon Aurora is a MySQL and PostgreSQL-compatible relational database engine that is explicitly built for the cloud. It offers various levels of security for the user's database, including network isolation using Amazon VPC, encryption at rest using keys that users create and control, and encryption of data in transit using SSL and AWS Key Management Service. The parallel query attribute offers quicker analytical queries on the user's current data. Users can deploy Parallel Query to operate analytical and transactional workloads in the Aurora database. Amazon Aurora also features a fault-tolerant distributed and self-healing storage system that scales efficiently. User's volume will increase in increments of 10GB up to a limit of 128 TB, and they don't need to provide excess storage for their database to manage future growth. PostgreSQL and MySQL compatibility make Amazon Aurora an appealing target for database migrations to the cloud.

"Great for storage and seamless platform"

What do you like best?

One of the best storage and database engines that I have used before. Amazon Aurora is a relational database engine also with storage capabilities, which is very useful. The underlying storage mechanism grows automatically as you add in more files, an amazing feature. It is also super easy to convert and bring in data from other platforms like MySQ.

What do you dislike?

Given that it was created by Amazon, I expected the software to be more seamless and more customer-friendly. Was significantly more "clunky" than other comparable database platforms and storage engines, but that also may be because Amazon Aurora has overall more features, but would definitely appreciate if the interface was streamlined.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

User interface experience could be enhanced to provide for more easily learning and integration.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Using Amazon Aurora mainly for storage purposes. Great to use as I do not have to worry about the sizing of the storage. Another benefit is that the platform is able to automatically sort and be able to standardize the database to reduce clustering issues and poorly organization.

"Great for non-sequential access"

What do you like best?

Amazing performance for non-sequential access/searches. Automatic management of storage and replicas is awesome and lets teams focus on what matters.

What do you dislike?

Not great for sequential access, such as aggregations, where performance is not as strong as with non-sequential assets. If you need some DW like logic, maybe look somewhere else (Redshift, SQL Server, ..)

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Scalability, cost reduction, automatic management of storage and data replication.

"Amazon Aurora is the database to lookout for in the future"

What do you like best?

Amazon Aurora is best suited for creating complex, highly available and commercial databases, in a very straightforward way. The database size should be medium to large because only then will you be able to justify the extra cost incurred for using Amazon Aurora. Another aspect is that if you are already using AWS and most of your applications and services are on the cloud, then it makes sense to use Amazon Aurora since it fits in the Amazon ecosystem really well.

What do you dislike?

I think the biggest point for a project or team to consider is the cost. Although it can scale and descale according to your requirements, still you need to be cautious and have a vision of how big your database is going to be, how complex it is going to be, and how much does latency matter. You need to factor all those decisions before going to spend extra on Amazon Aurora as compared to a simple MySQL database.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

It is compatible with MySQL and PostgreSQL. It essentially means that the database is able to support the old data-sets and tools which were being used on those DB's. This is a great advantage because it is essentially backward compatible.
