At its re:Invent conference, Amazon’s AWS cloud computing unit today announced Amazon Aurora DSQL, a new serverless, distributed SQL database that promises high availability (99.999% for multi-region availability), strong consistency, PostgreSQL compatibility, and, the company says, “4x faster reads and writes compared to other popular distributed SQL databases.” The company also highlights that Aurora DSQL will offer strong consistency, ensuring that if users opt for a multi-region approach, all regions will always show the same data at the same time. AWS notes that to ensure resiliency, Aurora DSQL uses an active-active architecture, meaning there is always a standby server ready to take over, which guarantees “that a customer’s application is always available by enabling an application to read and write to any Aurora DSQL endpoint.” Since this is a fully managed service, AWS handles all of the security updates and manages the overall infrastructure.
