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.
