Amazon Aurora DSQL (preview) #120

@nelsonic

Description

@nelsonic

Fastest serverless distributed SQL database for always available applications
https://aws.amazon.com/rds/aurora/dsql/
image

Currently in "preview" ...
"99.999% availability with no single point of failure and automated failure recovery"

this is what Aurora should always have been!! 🤦‍♂️
Our experience of using the "old" Aurora for clients was it was slow and expensive. 🐌 💸

3 things that are not covered:

  1. request latency in the same datacenter ⏳
  2. pricing for storage, requests and data egress 💰
  3. What does "distributed" mean in practice? How many datacenters? 🔢
    What if we want to have it running in more locations? 💭

Keeping my eye on this but not wasting any time on "preview" ...
Going to continue with Autobase #114 on Hetzner dwyl/learn-devops#97
as it will serve our use case more than adequately with the same availability for a tiny fraction of the price.
(don't expect "serverless" Postgres to be cheap!)
