Best RDS Solution

If you are looking for a best solution in cloud or hybrid environment, go for it.

PROS

Amazon Aurora is a wonderful Relational Database Solution in the AWS Cloud, it can provide you with up to 15 read replicas, it is amazingly server-less. You don't need to worry of capacity and performance.

CONS

It is a bit expensive as to the other available solutions, but considering its features it is a good choice.

No concerns for speed or our SLAs

Years ago, as our product and userbase grew enough that basic RDS wasn't cutting it, our IT team was surprised at how affordable the move to Aurora was, considering all the improvements. We've never looked back and don't have to spend nearly any working hours on scaling, migrations, and backups. We couldn't do what we do with out it.

PROS

The reliability, speed, and ease of scaling that Aurora offers are unmatched at their price. RDS was great when we started out, but with our software's growth, moving to Aurora was an easy decision.

CONS

The software has pretty much checked every box we have for managed database solutions. The only *ding* they get is for some often slow support response times/solutions.

Reason for choosing Amazon Aurora

Throughput became an increasing concern with the growth of our product and our staff. Just having to not worry about keeping staff to just babysit and manipulate our EC2 instances meanst our time and money would both be better spent improving our software.

Reasons for switching to Amazon Aurora

Growth. They managed our AWS Linux (EC2) instances for a while, but we had to make some staff changes. With very little effort we saw how RDS/Aurora would take the load off our crew and also give us better scalability and reliability.

Aurora - if you're on RDS, you should definitely give it a look

We had been on RDS for a number of years, happily running mySQL, when Aurora came out. The timing felt good: Oracle was just about buy mySQL (I think - not 100% sure on timing), so we were already feeling a bit edgy about what future support for mySQL was going to cost. It was hyped as a cheaper, faster alternative to mySQL -- and once we dipped our toes in the water, we discovered that's pretty much exactly what it is. We run a number of enterprise-class websites on an RDBMS backend, and we migrated from mySQL to Aurora within a few weeks. It was as simple as running database dumps, importing them into Aurora, and changing the pointers. Really. The interfaces are all identical, we didn't have to change any code at all (except for one thing -- see below), and once we cut over, it just worked. Which is basically what you want from your database. I'm very happy we switched over, and honestly, I still just kind of think of our database as mySQL. I use mySQL GUI tools to connect to it, write regular mySQL SQL queries to interact with it, and everything else just feels like the mySQL I grew up with. Only it's significantly cheaper, and feels faster. Win. The only caveat: there was one plugin we had in our mySQL install (it was a thing that let you do Levenshtein distance calculations) that was incompatible with Aurora. The plugin didn't exist. If you have a SUPER customized mySQL setup, look into whether Aurora supports all you do. But for us we never looked back.

PROS

* Pretty much a one-for-one swap with mySQL, only faster and cheaper * Not any learning curve * Super reliable

CONS

* If you have a seriously customized mysql installation, there may be some plugins that don't work

Reason for choosing Amazon Aurora

Aurora delivered on its promises: almost 100% compatibility with mySQL, super reliable and stable, cheaper, and faster.

Reasons for switching to Amazon Aurora

Amazon offered Aurora to us at a significant price discount on our RDS mySQL install, and claimed it would have (which it did) performance improvements as well.

Review about Amazon Aurora

The advantages are many and many, and it is easy to use and safe. as for the problems, they are few and do not affect the user, such as the difficulty of using it at the beginning, and this is not a problem from my point of view, because this problem is present in the program, application and site .

PROS

Keep the data, and this is a good thing, and this is one of its best features, and some programs are not safe, but this program very safe and very easy to use and retrieve my information is easy .

CONS

Some plugins do not work, but later they change and work well. At the first use, you say that it is difficult, but with time, the program is easy, and it must be developed more in order to be easy for the user at the beginning.

Solid basis for any cloud database needs

I've enjoyed my experience using Aurora. It's a really nice database system and supports both MySQL and Postgres, which is a plus. Connecting it to EC2 is really easy by just making sure the security groups are happy. I like it and plan to use it a little for my own personal projects.

PROS

- Support both MySQL and Postres - Available in both serverless and server-based varieties - Easy to connect to via EC2 instances

CONS

- Reading/writing via external (i.e. not on AWS) applications is.... difficult. At least, it took me a while to figure it out. Maybe I was doing it wrong though.

Awesome Relational DB for cloud

Overall great product.

PROS

This software is built for Relational DB for cloud, it is one of the best database engines out there. It gives high performance and reliability.

CONS

A bit costlier compared to other similar products, feels bit unpolished and clunky sometimes. The interface could be better, other than these no much cons.

Great managed remote desktop services by Amazon

PROS

The best part of Aurora is that it is managed, which makes everything easier for setting up. The data is encrypted which helps the data to be secured completely. It is way faster than other databases such as Oracle.

CONS

It's not user-friendly which makes it difficult to use at the beginning. The support is not the best when compared to others in the market.
