Amazon Aurora is a MySQL-compatible database engine that combines the speed and availability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open source databases. Starting today, you can sign up for an invitation to the preview of the service. Come to our session for an overview of the service and learn how Aurora delivers up to five times the performance of MySQL yet is priced at a fraction of what you'd pay for a commercial database with similar performance and availability.
