Amazon Aurora is a MySQL and PostgreSQL-compatible relational database built for the cloud. It combines the performance and availability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open-source databases.

Aurora Serverless v2

Aurora Serverless v2 automatically scales database capacity up and down based on your application's needs. It provides on-demand autoscaling for hundreds of thousands of transactions in seconds, without managing capacity.

Aurora Global Database

Aurora Global Database spans multiple AWS regions, enabling low-latency global reads and disaster recovery. It replicates your data to up to 16 secondary regions with typical replication lag of less than 1 second.

Read Replicas

Aurora provides up to 15 read replicas for read scaling, with replica lag typically under 100 milliseconds. Read replicas can be in different Availability Zones or even different regions.
