In this post on “Amazon Aurora Limitless Database”, we’ll dive into what makes this new feature a game-changer for scaling relational databases, especially when handling high write demands and massive storage requirements.
Let’s explore how it works, the problems it solves, and where it can add real value in your tech stack.
What is Aurora Limitless RDBMS on AWS?
As we already know that Amazon Aurora is a fully managed, relational database service offered by AWS.
“Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL Limitless Database” is made generally available on 31st Oct 2024.
With the feature in place, Aurora now provides the ability to scale beyond its previous limits, particularly for write throughput and storage, by distributing database workloads, across multiple database instances.
Please note that the limitless database is only available when you are choosing postgres
as the database engine.
What problem does it solve?
Wait a minute..
Do you mean to say, with aurora you were not able to scale your instances, earlier?
Well this is not entirely true…
