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.

As Ibrar Ahmed noted in his blog post on Transparent Database Encryption (TDE). PostgreSQL is a surprising outlier when it comes to offering Transparent Database Encryption. If database files are copied or otherwise exposed in their raw form, exposure does not happen. Does PostgreSQL Need TDE (Transparent Data Encryption)?
