CockroachDB vs. Amazon Aurora: Comparing Distributed Transactional Databases
Evaluating distributed and cloud SQL databases? Join us as we compare CockroachDB to Amazon Aurora.

While AWS Aurora can help scale in-region reads, it struggles to scale beyond a single primary writer and any regional extensions will be costly.
