AWS announces Aurora DSQL, a new distributed SQL database that promises virtually unlimited scalability | TechCrunch
Briefly

Amazon Aurora DSQL introduces a serverless, distributed SQL database with 99.999% availability, strong consistency, and promises to offer up to 4x faster reads and writes than competitors.
AWS emphasizes that Aurora DSQL scales writes and reads independently without database sharding, ensuring that all users see consistent data across multiple regions simultaneously.
With an active-active architecture, Aurora DSQL guarantees application availability by enabling reading and writing to any endpoint and utilizing standby servers for resiliency.
By decoupling transaction processing from storage, AWS claims to achieve microsecond accuracy for strong consistency in distributed environments, addressing traditional bottleneck challenges.
