PostgreSQL has become the preferred open source relational database for many enterprise developers and start-ups, powering leading business and mobile applications. The component is is available in two major manifestations. Both supports backups, software patching, monitoring, scaling and replication.
PostgreSQL Standard: The well-know traditional PostgreSQL-Engine makes it easy to use and scale PostgreSQL in cloud environments.
PostgreSQL Aurora: A PostgreSQL-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 three times faster than standard PostgreSQL databases. Aurora features a distributed, fault-tolerant, self-healing storage system that auto-scales up to 128TB per database instance. It delivers high performance and availability with up to 15 low-latency read replicas, point-in-time recovery, continuous backup to Amazon S3, and replication across three Availability Zones (AZs).
