Database

Amazon Aurora

Amazon Aurora is a MySQL- and PostgreSQL-compatible relational database built for managed availability and scale. Aurora PostgreSQL with pgvector can keep transactional metadata and vector retrieval near relational access controls.

Key points

Storage replicates across multiple Availability Zones
Aurora Serverless v2 adjusts database capacity within configured bounds
PostgreSQL-compatible clusters can use supported vector extensions

When to use it

Store tenant-scoped conversation state with relational constraints
Join product entitlements to vector-search metadata for RAG

Exam tips

Choose Aurora when transactions and SQL joins matter; OpenSearch is stronger for search-centric hybrid retrieval
Index vectors and connection pools deliberately because serverless capacity does not remove query design
