Amazon has announced the general availability of Amazon Aurora DSQL, a serverless distributed SQL database focused on scalability, high availability, and zero infrastructure management.
Aurora DSQL ensures 99.99% availability in a single region and 99.999% availability across multiple regions through features like replicating committed log data to user storage replicas across three Availability Zones.
Multi-region clusters in Aurora DSQL improve availability by utilizing Regional endpoints for read and write operations, with a third Region acting as a log-only witness for optimal geographic location optimization.
Aurora DSQL is suited for applications using microservices and event-driven architectures, with added features like an MCP server for natural language interaction and improvements in cluster management, AWS service integration, and PostgreSQL support.
