A glaring omission in AWS offerings is a NewSQL database that let's you start with SQL, have redundancy and scale horizontally having consistent reads the whole time. Scaling to 10M+ users and then switching datastores makes for good story writeups because it's hard. It's also avoidable.


Doesn't Aurora fit that bill?


Aurora has good replication but it's still just master/slaves rather than sharded. DynamoDB is sharded but nosql.


Thanks, wow, I guess I just never dug deep enough past the Aurora marketing, which I see now actually talks about its "distributed storage system".
