Comment on Amazon Aurora Serverless

Comments

For testing and development databases, would prefer to scale to zero. Weird that they don't offer that as an option.

It does scale to 0 when there are no connections to the DB.

Cold-to-warm takes 25 seconds, but for dev/test this shouldn't be a problem.

Ah, I totally misread this line: "Aurora Serverless can scale from a minimum of 2 ACUs to a maximum of 256 ACUs. You can specify the minimum and maximum ACUs your database can consume." I thought it meant you had to always run 2 ACUs.

My bad.

Isn't that Pricing Example 2?

literally in the first two paragraphs of the article.
