This video from AWS re:Invent 2023 introduces Amazon Aurora Limitless Database, a new scaling capability for Aurora that enables applications to scale beyond existing cluster limits. Christopher Heim and David Wein explain the architecture, distributed transaction management, and serverless scaling features of Limitless Database. They demonstrate how it provides the power of sharded databases with the simplicity of a single database interface, allowing customers to scale to millions of transactions per second across petabytes of data. The presenters dive deep into the technical details of how Limitless Database works, including its use of distributed transaction routers, data access shards, and time-based transaction systems to maintain ACID compliance in a distributed environment. Learn how Aurora Limitless Database makes it easier than ever to scale relational databases while maintaining compatibility with existing Aurora features and tools.
