Northern lights of databases: Illuminating secrets of Aurora

As enterprises demand higher availability, performance, and global reach from their data platforms, Amazon Aurora has remained a leading cloud-native relational database of choice. This session will explore Aurora's database architecture and how compute is separated from the distributed, fault-tolerant storage layer. The talk will examine key capabilities such as point-in-time restores, read replicas, serverless, global, and failover options that make this database an engineering marvel. It will also explore how Aurora, as a managed service from AWS, can support multi-region scalable design to produce resilient architectures.
