How hard is it to get off Aurora? The article said it’s mysql compatible.
- assface 9y agoAFAIK It uses the MySQL frontend with a heavily modified InnoDB engine that writes to their shared-disk storage.
- paulddraper 9y agoMySQL and PostgreSQL compatible. I've used both in production, with all sorts of advanced features, and (to my surprise) I've never yet found a difference. I would have a hard time leaving Aurora though. Not because of normal "vendor lock-in", but because of the operational worry-free scaling, backups, replicas, point-in-time restores etc. that it offers. Basically, I'm "stuck" on Aurora just because no one else offers MySQL/PostgreSQL databases like that.
