What is AWS Aurora Serverless?

AWS Aurora Serverless is a cloud-native database that combines the performance and availability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity and cost-efficiency of open-source solutions. Fully compatible with MySQL and PostgreSQL, Aurora Serverless automatically adjusts capacity to match application demand. This means no wasted resources and no risk of under-provisioning when traffic spikes unexpectedly. For organisations seeking resilient and scalable database architecture, Aurora is serverless by design.

" D55 enabled us to migrate from on-premise to a cloud-based solution, resulting in monthly cost savings of about 40%. Cloud-based systems give us a high level of resiliency and an unlimited capacity to scale. We’ve really put in place the foundations for later phases of work and further cost reduction as we scale.
