Amazon Aurora DSQL effortlessly scales to meet any workload demand and provides 99.999% multi-Region availability, strong consistency, and PostgreSQL compatibility, all with zero infrastructure management

Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc. company (NASDAQ:AMZN), today announced the general availability of Amazon Aurora DSQL, a serverless, distributed SQL database that enables customers to easily create databases to build applications with the highest availability, multi-Region strong consistency, PostgreSQL compatibility, and read and write speeds up to 4x faster than other popular distributed SQL databases. Until now, customers building globally distributed applications faced difficult trade-offs when selecting a database: Existing solutions offered either low latency without strong consistency, or strong consistency with high latency, but never both low latency and strong consistency in a highly available SQL database. With Aurora DSQL, customers no longer need to make these trade-offs, enabling them to build highly available applications at any scale without the operational burden of patching, upgrades, and maintenance downtime.

• Amazon Aurora DSQL is now generally available in eight AWS Regions, with availability in additional Regions coming soon.
• Customers and Partners including ADP, Cintra, Caylent, DeNA, Robinhood, and more are using Amazon Aurora DSQL to build highly resilient applications that meet the most stringent business continuity requirements.
