Looking to be part of a team building hyper-scale database services in the cloud? Do you want to revolutionize the way people manage vast volumes of data in the cloud where you have direct and immediate impact on hundreds of thousands of users who use AWS database services?
Amazon Aurora is an exciting area of innovation for AWS, and the PostgreSQL-compatible edition of Amazon Aurora is built on top of one of the most active open source communities, PostgreSQL. The PostgreSQL-compatible version of Amazon Aurora is a relational database which offers enterprise-class performance, availability and durability to our customers, along with the management benefits of RDS. Amazon Aurora is one of the fastest growing businesses within Amazon Web Services.
Aurora Limitless Database takes the conventional Amazon Aurora further for scalability and high write through put. Current data generation and data processing requires a database that can scale virtually to any limits and give a high write through put. Limitless database exactly covers this aspect of the organisations needs with the obvious benefit of pay-what-you-use model.
