Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) Data API Client Library Supports Java (Preview)

Posted on: Nov 26, 2019

You can use the Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) Data API Client Library with support for Java, now available in preview, to quickly and easily build applications for Amazon Aurora Serverless.  

The Data API Client Library makes it easy to build applications with the Amazon RDS Data API, by providing support for data type translation and object mapping. You can use the Client Library to reduce the complexity of data type handling and write less code when invoking the Data API. For more information, including instructions on getting started with client library, read the documentation.

The Data API enables you to focus on building your applications without worrying about managing database connections or connection pools. Instead, you can issue SQL commands against an Aurora Serverless cluster by simply invoking a HTTPS API endpoint. To get started with Data API, read the documentation.  

The Data API client library preview is available in US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), Europe (Ireland), and Asia Pacific (Tokyo) Regions. It supports both PostgreSQL-compatible and MySQL-compatible Aurora Serverless databases.

Amazon Aurora is a MySQL and PostgreSQL-compatible relational database built for the cloud, that combines the performance and availability of traditional enterprise databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open source databases.
