Amazon Aurora delivers exceptional performance and availability on a global scale, fully compatible with MySQL and PostgreSQL, at just 1/10th the cost of traditional commercial databases. Aurora offers 5x the throughput of MySQL and 3x that of PostgreSQL, while also adhering to broad compliance standards and featuring top-tier security capabilities. With storage resilience, Aurora ensures data durability across three Availability Zones (though customers only pay for a single copy). It boasts up to 99.99% availability, and when deployed across AWS Regions, Aurora's Global Database enables local read performance.
