How similar/different is it to AWS Aurora?

• GabeWeiss_ 4y ago
  Similar in that they're both managed relational databases aimed at scaling for intense workloads. AlloyDB has specific optimizations around PG that means it runs more efficiently than Aurora for Postgres.

    Do we have any specifics on how the perf compares to Aurora? Is the 2x mentioned on the blog based on any specific benchmark?
    • GabeWeiss_ 4y ago
      The 2x was based on an Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) benchmark that is based on industry standard TPC-C benchmark in our own testing.

        Do you have more info on the benchmark? e.g. No. of connections, DB instance type/configuration used, scale, etc.?

          Not anything I can talk about now unfortunately. Stay tuned though. :)
