In this post we introduce a solution that addresses a common challenge faced by many customers: managing costs in multi-tenant applications, particularly for shared databases in Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) and Amazon Aurora. This solution uses Amazon RDS Performance Insights and AWS Cost and Usage Reports (CUR) to addresses this challenge. This allows for efficient grouping of tenants within the same RDS or Aurora instances, while helping you implement accurate chargeback models, optimize resource-intensive workloads, and make data-driven decisions for capacity planning.
