The most valuable feature is the ability to do multiple-read and single-write. These are the kinds of features that we were interested in, and Aurora takes care of that natively.
Amazon Aurora simplifies database management by automating maintenance tasks and offering features like multiple-read and single-write capabilities with SQL standardization. It supports scalability and workload handling without a maintenance window, providing easier migration with MySQL and PostgreSQL compatibility. Custom endpoints eliminate proxy requirements, and integration with AWS services enhances functionality. Although it offers enterprise features at a lower cost, pricing and PostgreSQL compatibility improvements are needed to increase accessibility and developer satisfaction.
