Amazon Aurora with PostgreSQL compatibility provides up to three times better performance than the typical PostgreSQL database, together with scalability, durability and security. It also provides a high degree of compatibility with commercial databases, making it a compelling target for database migrations.
The service also includes Performance Insights, an easy-to-use database monitoring tool that helps you quickly detect performance problems and take corrective action. Performance Insights is available for preview at no additional cost and can be enabled with one click in the Amazon RDS Console.
The PostgreSQL-compatible edition of Amazon Aurora is available on r4.large – r4.16xlarge DB Instance Classes in the US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon) and EU (Ireland) Regions.
