Many of you know Thorsten von Eicken as the founder of Rightscale , the company that has helped numerous organizations find their way onto AWS. The lack of low-latency made that distributed systems (e.g. database replication, fault tolerance protocols) could not benefit from these advances at the network level.

Now that Database-as-a-service (DBaaS) is in high demand, there are multiple questions regarding AWS services that cannot always be answered easily: When should I use Aurora and when should I use RDS MySQL ? What we should really compare is the MySQL and Aurora database engines provided by Amazon RDS.
