AWS positioned highest in execution in the latest Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud Database Management Systems
AWS has been named a Leader for the 11th consecutive year in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud Database Management Systems. And, once again, AWS has been positioned highest among all 20 evaluated companies for our Ability to Execute. We believe this reflects our ongoing commitment to giving customers the broadest and deepest set of capabilities to accelerate innovation as well as unparalleled security, reliability, and performance they can trust for their most critical applications.
The following is a graphical representation of the 2025 Magic Quadrant for Cloud Database Management Systems.

Helping Customers Navigate the Agentic AI revolution
As we shared with customers and partners at our 2025 re:Invent conference late last year, AWS is committed to helping customers navigate the agentic AI revolution, and the exponential growth of code, applications and data it will create. If you’re using agentic AI IDEs like Vercel v0 and Kiro, you can build at the speed of an idea—and create and connect to an Amazon Aurora cluster or an Amazon DynamoDB table within seconds. Our data services offer MCP servers, so you can easily bring domain-specific expertise directly into your AI workflows. Wherever you are on your agentic AI journey, AWS is the best cloud for building your agentic AI-ready data platform: the world’s leading data technologies with built-in interoperability and the best-in-class security, reliability, operational excellence, and price performance at any scale.
At the AWS re:Invent learning conference, we made several announcements to help customers execute on their data management strategies, including Database Savings Plans that can reduce costs by up to 35%,and Amazon S3 Vectors, the first cloud object storage with native vector support—to help customers reduce vector storage costs by up to 90%. We’ve enhanced our Amazon RDS database with 4x storage capacity for Oracle and SQL Server and CPU optimization options for SQL Server that can lower licensing costs by up to 55%. We’re also making it easier to get started with Aurora Serverless instant deployment, helping customers optimize spending automatically with S3 Tables Intelligent-Tiering, accelerating Amazon OpenSearch Service vector operations by 10x, enabling Redshift Apache Iceberg writes for better data lake integration, and reimagining SageMaker notebooks with built-in AI agents. Our aim is to help customers scale seamlessly from their current workloads to the massive data volumes that agentic AI will generate, without forcing them through constant technology migrations.
