Amazon Aurora DSQL, the fastest serverless distributed SQL database, has been announced as generally available, offering virtually unlimited scale, high availability, and zero infrastructure management.
Aurora DSQL simplifies complex relational database challenges by disaggregating into independent components for high cohesion, scaled independently, and supporting multi-Region strong consistency with low latency.
It provides 99.99% availability in a single Region and 99.999% across multiple Regions, with active-active distributed architecture enabling strong data consistency.
Ideal for microservices, event-driven architectures, and industries like banking and ecommerce, Aurora DSQL supports multi-Region scalability and resilience for applications.
Creating an Aurora DSQL cluster is easy with options for single-Region or multi-Region configuration, offering familiar SQL clients for managing databases.
New features added post-preview include improved console experience, PostgreSQL features, integration with AWS services, and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI models.
Aurora DSQL is available in several AWS Regions with billing based on Distributed Processing Units (DPUs) for request-based activity and storage measured in GB-months.
Users can explore Aurora DSQL through the AWS Free Tier, providing the first 100,000 DPUs and 1 GB-month of storage each month for free.
