David D. Clark, Chief Protocol Architect of the development of the Internet in the 1980s, famously wrote this similar neat soundbite: We reject: kings, presidents and voting. We believe in: rough consensus and running code.

See my comment above. Aurora partitions ('shards') its data in 10GB chunks automatically, which are written in parallel to 6 nodes across 3 Availability Zones and backed up to S3 for full durability. Aurora horizontally scales sto

You're probably thinking of 'group replication' in standard MySQL. Aurora's horizontal scaling for reads, writes and storage capacity is quite different since compute and storage is decoupled, and the concepts of 's
256.
by wgjordan 9y ago
Aurora's horizontal scaling doesn't depend on sharding at all- read-scaling uses read-replicas, and multi-master write-scaling uses a hierarchical conflict-resolution strategy [1]. On 'beating Aurora', my point was that

Aurora currently supports automatic horizontal scaling for reads [1], and horizontal scaling for writes is currently in preview [2]. [1]: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2017/11/amazon-au... [
