AWS Cloud Databases
High-performance, secure, and reliable foundation to power generative AI solutions and data-driven applications at any scaleWhy AWS databases?
AWS databases offer a high-performance, secure, and reliable foundation to power generative AI solutions and data-driven applications that drive value for your business and customers. AWS high-performance databases support any workload or use case, including relational databases with 3-5x faster throughput than alternatives, purpose-built databases with microsecond latency, and built-in vector database capabilities with fastest throughput at the highest recall rates. AWS provides serverless options that remove the need to manage capacity by instantly scaling on demand. AWS databases deliver unmatched security with encryption at rest and in transit, network isolation, authentication, resolution of anomalies, and rigorous adherence to compliance standards. They are highly reliable because the data is automatically replicated across multiple Availability Zones within an AWS Region. With 15 database engines optimized for the application’s data model, AWS fully managed databases remove the undifferentiated heavy lifting of database administrative tasks.

Database services
Relational Database
Relational databases store data with predefined schemas and relationships between them. These databases are designed to support ACID transactions, and maintain referential integrity and strong data consistency.
Amazon Aurora
MySQL and PostgreSQL-compatible relational database built for the cloud. Performance and availability of commercial-grade databases at 1/10th the cost
Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)
Set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud with just a few clicks
Amazon Redshift
Analyze all of your data with the fastest and most widely used cloud data warehouse
Key-value Database
Key-value databases are optimized for common access patterns, typically to store and retrieve large volumes of data. These databases deliver quick response times, even in extreme volumes of concurrent requests.
Amazon DynamoDB
Get a fast, flexible, and serverless NoSQL database for any scale, to support key-value and document workloads
In-memory Database
In-memory databases are used for applications that require real-time access to data. By storing data directly in memory, these databases deliver microsecond latency to applications for whom millisecond latency is not enough.
Document Database
A document database is designed to store semistructured data as JSON-like documents. These databases help developers build and update applications quickly.
Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility)
Scale JSON workloads with ease using an enterprise-ready document database service compatible with MongoDB.
Graph Database
Graph databases are for applications that need to navigate and query millions of relationships between highly connected graph datasets with millisecond latency at large scale.
Amazon Neptune
Build applications that work with highly connected datasets using a fast, reliable graph database service.
Wide Column Database
A wide column store is a type of NoSQL database. It uses tables, rows, and columns, but unlike a relational database, the names and format of the columns can vary from row to row in the same table.
Amazon Keyspaces
Run your Apache Cassandra workloads on a scalable, highly available, and managed wide column database service.
Time Series Database
Time-series databases efficiently collect, synthesize, and derive insights from data that changes over time and with queries spanning time intervals.
Amazon Timestream
Store and analyze trillions of events per day with a fast, scalable, and serverless time series database service.
Maximize innovation velocity while reducing total cost of ownership
Move to managed databases
Automate the time-consuming tasks of setting up, managing, and scaling databases. Spend more time on application development instead of the undifferentiated heavy lifting of provisioning and managing databases on premises.
Build modern applications with purpose-built databases
Choose the database service best fit for the job to help you optimize scale, performance, and costs when designing applications. See how purpose-built databases match up with modern microservices architectures.
Compatible cloud databases
Stop working around proprietary standards, punitive pricing terms, and frequent audits. Embrace open source compatible cloud databases with commercial grade performance, availability, and scale at a fraction of the cost.
