With this update, you can use the new ‘aurora_stat_memctx_usage()’ function to report memory usage for each PostgreSQL backend. The 'pg_hint_plan' extension has been upgraded to 1.2.2, and the 'PLV8' extension has been updated to version 2.1.0. See the documentation for more information.
To use the new versions, you can create a new Amazon Aurora database instance with just a few clicks in the Amazon RDS Management Console, or upgrade an existing instance using a point-and-click upgrade. An upgrade operation involves a short period of unavailability for your database instance. Learn more about upgrading your database instances in the Amazon Aurora documentation.
Amazon Aurora combines the performance and availability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open source databases. It provides up to three times better performance than the typical PostgreSQL database, together with increased scalability, durability, and security.
