AWS – Amazon Aurora DSQL is now generally available

Today, AWS announces the general availability of Amazon Aurora DSQL, the fastest serverless, distributed SQL database with active-active high availability and multi-Region strong consistency. Aurora DSQL enables you build always available applications with virtually unlimited scalability, the highest availability, and zero infrastructure management. It is designed to make scaling and resilience effortless for your applications and offers the fastest distributed SQL reads and writes.

Aurora DSQL active-active distributed architecture is designed for 99.99% single-Region and 99.999% multi-Region availability with no single point of failure, and automated failure recovery. It offers multi-Region strong consistency which ensures all reads and writes to any Regional endpoint are strongly consistent and durable. Aurora DSQL independently scales reads, writes, compute, and storage, offering the flexibility and cost efficiency to both scale up and scale out to meet any workload demand without compromising performance. With today’s launch, we’ve added support for AWS Backup, AWS PrivateLink, AWS CloudFormation, AWS CloudTrail, AWS KMS customer managed keys, and PostgreSQL views. In addition, Aurora DSQL provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI applications. 

Aurora DSQL is available in the following AWS Regions: US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Osaka), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), and Europe (Paris).
