"Amazon Aurora: The Supercharged Database Hero for Hamza A. Abdelmoniem , which is me 👀"
Product Reviewed: Amazon Aurora
What do you like best about Amazon Aurora?

Amazon Aurora stands out for several reasons that I truly appreciate.

First, its **exceptional performance** allows applications to run faster, handling high-throughput workloads seamlessly. This is invaluable for businesses needing quick data access.

Second, Aurora's **high availability** ensures data is automatically replicated across multiple availability zones, providing reliability crucial for mission-critical applications.

Additionally, as a **fully managed service**, it handles backups and scaling, freeing developers to focus on building rather than managing infrastructure.

Finally, its **compatibility with MySQL and PostgreSQL** means easy migration for existing applications, making it a smart choice for those looking to transition to a robust cloud database solution. Overall, Amazon Aurora is an excellent choice for modern applications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Aurora?

Amazon Aurora has a few drawbacks worth noting. Its cost can be higher than traditional databases, which may deter smaller budgets.

The initial setup might feel complex for AWS newcomers but not for me, and heavy reliance on the service could lead to vendor lock-in, complicating future transitions. Nonetheless, it remains a powerful choice for many applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best for reliable and easy to scale"
What do you like best about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

The platform takes care of many of the headaches of database management like backups, patching, and replication, which allows you to focus on application development rather than the infrastructure and db server.one of the biggest advantages is its scalability. You can easily scale up or down based on your needs, and it's quite handy when your database usage fluctuates. The integration set up is awesome.it is easy to implement and integration with other services. The support is also good. Whenever there's a big application for minimize the risk and headache I always use AWS. I use it more frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

I didn't notice any as per my uses. I generally use postgres but it's good too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A smooth experience with this Data Warehouse"
Product Reviewed: Amazon Redshift
What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

The best part is the ability of its keys (distribution data keys) which enhances the performance capabilities when queries are run. It is mostly managed by AWS and quite good in distribution processing too. Huge amount of data can be stored within it with ease, seamlessly integrates with other AWS services if needed, especially storage services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

An option to search/find data would be a little helpful because it can have massive amount of data. Scalability whether up or down is restricted or to be precise, it is limited to an extent.= compared to other cloud providers. Even is concurrency is less compared to others with a max of 50.

"Treuely Recommended"
Product Reviewed: Amazon Aurora
What do you like best about Amazon Aurora?

The Amazon Aura truly feels like a game-changer for any smart home. Its sleek design looks great in any room, and the touch screen is super easy to use. I love how I can control everything with my voice through Alexa—it's a lifesaver for multitasking! The display quality is fantastic, perfect for sharing photos or watching a quick video. While the battery life is decent, it can drain quickly with heavy use, so just keep that in mind. Overall, the Aura combines style and functionality, making it a worthwhile addition to your home. Highly recommended! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Aurora?

One downside I've noticed with the Amazon Aura is that the battery life, while okay, tends to drain faster with heavy use, which means you might find yourself charging it more often than you'd like. Also, if your Wi-Fi connection isn’t strong, it can limit some of the device's functionality, which can be frustrating. And while the Alexa integration is great for many, it might not sit well with those who prefer to keep things more private and minimize voice assistant interactions. Overall, just a few things to consider! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use and pay as you use"
Product Reviewed: Amazon Aurora
What do you like best about Amazon Aurora?

I used Amazon Aurora in my previous organization as an alternative to our on-premise MySQL. The best things about this service are that you only pay for the resources you use, you can bring down the DB servers when you don't need them, which we used for our Dev and QA servers, and scalability is an easy and cool feature. Creating duplicates is easy, as is writing and reading DB servers. It is easy to implement with existing applications, if you are using a DB framework then usually just changing the configuration does your task. It has really good Customer Support which we use sometimes if encounter any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Aurora?

In my experiece, I didn't encounter anything which I didn't like. However, it can be sometimes more costly than on-premise DB and requires a learning curve from an administrator perspective. There could be some limitations in the features as it is a Saas compared to servers self-deployed on-premise DB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
