Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL Limitless Database Expands Global Reach
The Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL Limitless Database has officially launched in a variety of regions, enhancing its accessibility for users around the globe. This expansion includes locations such as the US West (Northern California), Africa (Cape Town), and several key cities across Asia Pacific, including Hyderabad, Jakarta, and Melbourne. Additionally, it is now available in Canada (Central and West), Europe (London, Milan, Paris, Spain, Zurich), Israel (Tel Aviv), Mexico (Central), the Middle East (Bahrain, UAE), and South America (Sao Paulo).
Designed to simplify the scaling of relational database workloads, the Aurora PostgreSQL Limitless Database introduces a serverless endpoint that intelligently distributes data and queries across multiple Amazon Aurora Serverless instances. This architecture ensures the transactional consistency typically associated with a single database, while also enhancing performance and reliability.
Among its notable features are distributed query planning and transaction management, which eliminate the necessity for users to develop custom solutions or juggle multiple databases for scaling purposes. As workloads fluctuate, the Aurora PostgreSQL Limitless Database dynamically allocates additional compute resources, all while adhering to user-defined budgets. This means there is no requirement to provision for peak usage, as the system automatically scales down during periods of low demand.
The database supports PostgreSQL versions 16.6 and 16.8, offering users the latest enhancements and features available in the PostgreSQL ecosystem.
