Amazon Aurora DSQL, the fastest serverless distributed SQL database is now generally available

AWS, Tuesday, May 27th, 2025

AWS is announcing the general availability of Amazon Aurora DSQL, the fastest serverless distributed SQL database with virtually unlimited scale, the highest availability, and zero infrastructure management for always available applications.

You can remove the operational burden of patching, upgrades, and maintenance downtime and count on an easy-to-use developer experience to create a new database in a few quick steps.

When we introduced the preview of Aurora DSQL at AWS re:Invent 2024, our customers were excited by this innovative solution to simplify complex relational database challenges. In his keynote, Dr. Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon.com, talked about managing complexity upfront in the design of Aurora DSQL. Unlike most traditional databases, Aurora DSQL is disaggregated into multiple independent components such as a query processor, adjudicator, journal, and crossbar.
