AWS Postgres Aurora Vs RDS - What one should I chose?

Nice summary, great bit o' business

Today, using the same resources, aurora is 8$/month more expensive and if you go with equivalent serverless resources, it's more then 100$/month more expensive. Performance-wise, I only tested so far with serverless and it's disappointingly slow compared to the classic RDS - less then half transactions/s 112 (RDS) vs 47 (aurora) with more than double the latency of each transaction - 446 ms (RDS) vs 1050 ms (aurora serverless v2)

Hi, thank for video. Does it make a price difference if I select "Production" or "Development/Test" when install Aurora serverless 2 ?

Please help understand why Aurora is categorically described as "postgreSQL compatible" and not AS PostgreSQL DB engine?

Very well explained!

is this dude, Jack Black, or what?

In your cost comparison, did you just compare an RDS multi-AZ instance over to a single instance cluster Aurora?
Single-AZ RDS instance is more cheaper compared to a single instance cluster Aurora IMO.

Hi Johnny,

What do you recommend for wordpress database (Amazon Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition or Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition), considering ec2 horizontal scaling.

Great video highlighting the key points of difference between aurora db and postgres. When you talk about "why not always use aurora db" you mention its mainly understanding if we are comfortable with the aurora db architecture of having separate storage and compute nodes. Could you please elaborate on what you mean by being comfortable? When my application supports gcp or azure too, would I need any application code changes because I connected to aurora db till then? If so what would they look like?

Thanks.
