Amazon Aurora Serverless v2 now offers up to 30% performance improvement

Amazon Aurora Serverless v2 now offers up to 30% improved performance for databases running on the latest serverless platform version (version 3), and also supports scaling from 0 up to 256 Aurora Capacity Units (ACUs). Aurora Serverless v2 measures capacity in ACUs where each ACU is a combination of approximately 2 gibibytes (GiB) of memory, corresponding CPU, and networking. You specify the capacity range and the database scales within this range to support your application’s needs.

With improved performance, you can now use Aurora Serverless for even more demanding workloads. All new clusters, database restores, and new clones will launch on the latest platform version. Existing clusters can be upgraded by stopping and restarting the cluster or by using Blue/Green Deployments. You can determine the cluster’s platform version in the AWS Console’s instance configuration section or via the RDS API’s ServerlessV2PlatformVersion parameter for a DB cluster.

The latest platform version is available in all AWS Regions including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. Aurora Serverless is an on-demand, automatic scaling configuration for Amazon Aurora.

To learn more, read the documentation, and get started by creating an Aurora Serverless v2 database using only a few steps in the AWS Management Console.
