CockroachDB vs. Amazon Aurora:

Comparing Distributed Transactional Databases

Recorded on Thursday, Jan 25, 2024

45 minutes

Evaluating distributed and cloud SQL databases? Join us as we compare CockroachDB to Amazon Aurora. We will explore CockroachDB’s distributed architecture and how it survives failures across regions, delivering truly elastic and global scale for transactional applications. 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.

In this webinar, we will walk through a handful of workloads across both systems, exploring:

  • Where each database delivers value
  • The key differences in scale of both CockroachDB and Aurora
  • Vendor flexibility and the pitfalls of the vendor lock-in
