Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about AWS Aurora setup services
What is the difference between Aurora and standard RDS?
Aurora provides up to 5x MySQL and 3x PostgreSQL throughput with cloud-native architecture. It offers superior availability with 6-way storage replication across 3 AZs, faster replication (milliseconds vs seconds), up to 15 read replicas vs 5 for RDS, instant crash recovery, and advanced features like Global Database, Serverless v2, and Backtrack. Aurora costs about 20% more but delivers significantly better performance and availability.
When should I use Aurora Serverless v2?
Aurora Serverless v2 is ideal for: variable or unpredictable workloads that need instant scaling, development and test environments that are used intermittently, multi-tenant SaaS applications with per-customer databases, applications with infrequent or sporadic usage patterns, and when you want to optimize costs by paying only for actual capacity used. It scales instantly from 0.5 to 128 ACUs with no connection disruption, making it suitable for production workloads unlike Serverless v1.
What is Aurora Global Database and when should I use it?
Aurora Global Database spans multiple AWS regions with a primary region for writes and up to 5 secondary regions for low-latency local reads. Replication lag is typically under 1 second, and region failover takes under 1 minute. Use it for: globally distributed applications requiring low-latency local reads, disaster recovery across regions with minimal data loss (RPO under 1 second), business continuity requirements, and applications serving users across multiple continents. Each secondary region can have up to 16 read replicas.
How can I optimize Aurora costs?
Cost optimization strategies include: using Aurora Serverless v2 for variable workloads to pay only for capacity used, right-sizing instances based on actual workload patterns using Performance Insights, leveraging Reserved Instances for predictable workloads (up to 69% savings), using Aurora I/O-Optimized configuration for high I/O workloads, implementing read replicas only where needed, using database cloning for dev/test instead of full copies, enabling Performance Insights for query optimization, and monitoring with CloudWatch to identify inefficient queries consuming resources.
