In this post, we give insights into Aurora DSQL Auto Analyze, a probabilistic and de-facto stateless method to automatically compute DSQL optimizer statistics. Users who are familiar with PostgreSQL will appreciate the similarity to autovacuum analyze.

Amazon DynamoDB global tables now support replication across AWS accounts

Today, we’re announcing multi-account global tables for Amazon DynamoDB, which let you replicate DynamoDB table data across multiple AWS accounts and AWS Regions. This feature adds account-level isolation to global tables, so you can replicate DynamoDB table data across multiple AWS accounts and Regions for stronger isolation and resiliency. In this post, we show you how to create and configure a multi-account global table, and introduce use cases highlighting the value of using this feature.

Optimize LLM response costs and latency with effective caching

In this post, we talk about the benefits of caching in generative AI applications. We also elaborated on a few implementation strategies that can help you create and maintain an effective cache for your application.

Introducing pre-warming for Amazon Keyspaces tables

Amazon Keyspaces now supports the pre-warming feature to provide you with proactive throughput management. With pre-warming, you can set minimum warm throughput values that your table can handle instantly, avoiding the cold start delays that occur during dynamic partition splits. In this post, we discuss the Amazon Keyspaces pre-warming feature capabilities and demonstrate how it can enhance your throughput performance.

Managing IP address exhaustion for Amazon RDS Proxy

In this post, you will learn how to address IP address exhaustion challenges when working with Amazon RDS Proxy. For customers experiencing IP exhaustion with RDS Proxy, migrating to IPv6 address space can be an effective solution if your workload supports IPv6. This post focuses on workloads that cannot support IPv6 address space and provides an alternative approach using IPv4 subnet expansion. The solution focuses on expanding your Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) CIDR range, establishing new subnets, and executing a carefully planned switching of your proxy to a new subnet configuration.
