Amazon Aurora DSQL launches Playground for interactive database exploration

Posted on: Feb 25, 2026

Today, AWS announces Amazon Aurora DSQL Playground, a browser-based interactive environment that enables developers to explore and experiment with Aurora DSQL without requiring an AWS account. Developers can write and execute SQL queries, test schema designs, and experience Aurora DSQL's PostgreSQL-compatible distributed SQL capabilities directly in their browser with no setup or configuration required.

Aurora DSQL Playground provides an instant sandbox environment with temporary clusters where developers can learn Aurora DSQL concepts, prototype application schemas, and validate query patterns before deploying to production. The playground includes sample datasets that enable developers to get started faster, understand how Aurora DSQL handles common database operations, and explore best practices for designing schemas optimized for distributed workloads.

To get started, visit the Aurora DSQL Playground. For production workloads, get started with Aurora DSQL for free with the AWS Free Tier. To learn more about Amazon Aurora DSQL, visit the webpage.
