MySQL is the world's most popular open source relational database. The component is available in two engines:
MySQL Standard: The well-know traditional MySQL-Engine which makes it easy to use and scale MySQL in cloud environments.
MySQL Aurora: A MySQL-compatible database built for the cloud, that combines the performance and availability of traditional enterprise databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open source databases. It is up to five times faster than standard MySQL databases. Aurora features a distributed, fault-tolerant, self-healing storage system that auto-scales up to 128TB per database instance. Therefore we recommend Aurora for most use cases.
