One of the greatest solutions for every business!

What do you like best? What I love most about Amazon Aurora is that It's a solid and complete database software.

Also, it's really fast and supportive, including many features that helps to build and entire reliable database system. What do you dislike? There is nothing I dislike about Amazon Aurora but I must say that price can be high for small companies. ...

Reliable DB services for AWS!

What do you like best? Amazon Aurora has lots of things to dig in but something that I find really great to have is the large amount of databases that offers, Aurora is a great tool to organize those many databases and allows users to create and manage a concentrated stock of these databases and it works really fast when all the data comes from AWS Cloud. What do you dislike? Sometimes I see few glitches on the software when I'm trying to organize and oversee several databases at the ...

Database management made easier

What do you like best? Amazon Aurora allows simple and easy instantiation of a database instance with a few text boxes and clicks. It allows advanced features such as availability zone distribution, automated minor version upgrades, and AWS security group integration. What do you dislike? I'm still having trouble with diagnosing and troubleshooting issues in detail. It would help if there were aggregated log dashboards as they have with metric dashboards. What problems are you ...

Ideal choice for Cloud based Relational Database Management especially for MySQL Backed Applications

What do you like best? We started using Amazon Aurora around a year ago and implemented into one of our live medium sized projects on client's demand.

Also very additional features are services are provided which we were doing own our own and now Amazon Aurora DB instance is handling everything. Now the focus if completely on application development and least ...

MySQL with better performance and price: What's not to like?

What do you like best? I love the fact that Aurora has performance advantages over MySQL and I didn't have to learn anything new to be able to use my existing MySQL code. That's a win-win for me. What do you dislike? I can't think of anything at all. Maybe a free tier? Recommendations to others considering the product: If you are already using MySQL (and who isn't?), switching to Aurora seems like a no-brainer to me. What problems are you solving with the product? What ...

My Aurora Review

What do you like best? I like the option to choose the sintaxe and the configurations of the Postgre or MySQL Database. What do you dislike? The dificulty to configure the clusters to put the server on and use it. Recommendations to others considering the product: Its a database to look in the future. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? The price of the instances and learn about of the Amazon's database.
