How Amazon Aurora Works | Amazon Aurora Architecture | Cloud Database Architecture

In this video we take a look at Amazon Aurora Architecture and discuss how it works; including detailed descriptions of Amazon Aurora as a Global Database, their multi-master variant, and their "serverless" offering.

Great walkthrough mate, couldn't stop noticing the bike in the back ground :)

Well articulated, thanks for the vid

Amazing presentation!
One thing I am really annoyed is the limitation of only being able to replicate asynchronously. I really wish there was an option to replicate synchronously.
Multi-Master is definitely limited for sure. But from my knowledge, dealing with write conflicts between multiple writers is a very very difficult problem to solve. The fact that multi-master writer feature is available as a managed service I think is great doe. although I am skeptical of how many uses cases exists for a multi-master setup.

Multi region write latency is issue..but same happens in CockroachDb where in "defualt region" config..commit takes more time for multi region setting. Need to understand how writes are better in CockroachDb vs Aurora in multiregion setup.

I think their leveraging the pivot 3’s software defined storage model.
