What is the right database for you?
summary
Guides selection by engine and use case: RDS for managed Postgres/MySQL, Aurora (Postgres/MySQL-compatible) decouples compute/storage, claims enterprise performance at about 1/10 the cost and supports Babelfish for T‑SQL compatibility; Aurora Serverless autosizes and a Global Database replicates writer to readers across regions with millisecond RPO and live failover demonstrated using HammerDB, CloudWatch and Performance Insights. DynamoDB hits extreme scale—cited at 5 trillion events per day on Prime Day—DocumentDB, ElastiCache/MemoryDB, Neptune, Timestream, QLDB and Keyspaces round out specific alternatives.
