Technical Architecture of Postgres Aurora

Amazon Aurora is a cloud-optimized relational database that combines the speed & availability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity & cost-effectiveness of open source databases. The recently announced PostgreSQL-compatibility, together with the original MySQL compatibility, are perfect for new application development & for migrations from overpriced, restrictive commercial databases. In this session, well do a deep dive into the new architectural model & distributed systems techniques behind Amazon Aurora, discuss best practices & configurations, look at migration options & share customer experience from the field.
