Aurora keeps coming along in leaps and bounds, congratulations to the team, this is a fantastic achievement!
I only wish that every new feature didn't inevitably come with the caveat that it's only for the MySQL flavour of Aurora.
I understand both the engineering and product development reasons for doing so (different stack and MySQL is undoubtedly a much larger customer base), but it always makes these announcements a little underwhelming as an Aurora Postgres user.
- ben509 8y agoI have no problem with the fact that the MySQL users get to be my beta-testers.
- erik_seaberg 8y agoIf my beta testers shrug off relational integrity, that makes me the real beta tester.

Not only MySQL, but only MySQL version 5.6, which was released in 2013 and superceded by 5.7 in 2015. Aurora finally released support for 5.7 in February this year after years of development, but all new features so far have been stuck on the 5.6 branch which hasn't been very reassuring.
- paulddraper 8y agoOne annoyance for we is that you can get MySQL for <$30/month, but posgresql is $200/month
