Heh, about that.. Hasn't AWS already crossed that threshold with Aurora RDS, Redshift, and etc?
- klysm 3y agoBut Aurora RDS is a separate product - it's not sold as standard Postgres which you can also get. It's not like they are trying to pass off aurora as the same thing.
- Rapzid 3y agoThey are 100% selling it as standard PostgreSQL.. With benefits.
- klysm 3y agoI didn’t get that vibe from the docs - to me I got it as mostly postgres compatible API with a different storage layer that has benefits.
- Rapzid 3y agoSorry for the very late reply, but Aurora PostgreSQL isn't just wire protocol compatible like CockRoachDB. It actually is PostgreSQL modified for their service. It includes all your favorite PG extensions and even large object functionality.
- klysm 3y agoYea but it’s modified for their service as you say - it’s not Postgres because it’s not the same storage layer and it’s not open source
