Digital Services & Engagement Senior Manager at AXA5.0We switched from PostgreSQL to Amazon Aurora for its managed features and 99.9% SLA, significantly improving operational efficiency and reducing manpower costs by nearly 50%. However, migrating from PostgreSQL RDS posed challenges, needing improvement for easier transitions.
Associate Vice President - Database Management (Principal Solutions Architect) at Northbay4.0I use Amazon Aurora for its cost-effectiveness and enterprise-level features compared to MySQL and PostgreSQL. It offers high availability, up to 16 read replicas, and fast cloning. Improvement is needed in updating PostgreSQL versions and extensions.
Data & Solution Archtect at Enkel4.5I support customers migrating Oracle databases to Amazon Aurora, mainly in finance and services. Aurora's scalability, cost control, and tuning options are valuable, though I don’t use all features. Overall, I rate it highly for modernization projects.

Solution Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees4.5I found migrating to Amazon Aurora smooth and setup easy, with valuable auto-scaling and internal management features. While stability and scalability are excellent, I wish there were more quick tutorials to reduce the learning curve.
AWS DATA ENGINEER at Coforge Growth Agency4.0I used Amazon Aurora in a German project for its superior speed and efficiency over other databases. Despite a challenge with the serverless version's lack of a query editor, Aurora's performance and cost advantages outweighed previous solutions like Redshift and Snowflake.
