For those of you who don’ t know, Amazon Aurora is a cloud-optimized relational database that combines the speed and availability with simplicity of open-source databases.

PostgreSQL have better performance, scalability, durability and availabilty at lesser costs than commercial databases. This compatibility further increased the foothold of AWS in the competition among cloud database service provider.

Aurora packs the performance and availability of high-end commercial databases at one-tenth the cost. Now doubled with PostgreSQL, the performance of the DB upped by several levels.

" With this enhancement to Aurora, AWS has just opened the on-ramp for a flood of new cloud applications, especially for people struggling to boost performance or uptime of their on-premises PostgreSQL databases," Andy Ellicott, chief marketing officer at Crate.io.

It also offers JSON supports and automatically replicates data across multiple availability. Aurora automatically replicates data across multiple availability zones and continuosly backs up data to Amazon Simple Storage Service. It has lesser recovery time and doesn’ t need to rebuild database caches if the DB failure occurs.

All these changes and the growing competition among the cloud database service providers, Amazon expects a good amount of Customer influx who are now exiting the Oracle databases. Amazon seems to have created a opponent worthy of Oracle. Time will tell about the changes.
