AWS Cloud Databases
High-performance, secure, and reliable foundation to power generative AI solutions and data-driven applications at any scaleWhy AWS databases?
AWS databases offer a high-performance, secure, and reliable foundation to power generative AI solutions and data-driven applications that drive value for your business and customers. AWS high-performance databases support any workload or use case, including relational databases with 3-5x faster throughput than alternatives, purpose-built databases with microsecond latency, and built-in vector database capabilities with fastest throughput at the highest recall rates. AWS provides serverless options that remove the need to manage capacity by instantly scaling on demand. AWS databases deliver unmatched security with encryption at rest and in transit, network isolation, authentication, resolution of anomalies, and rigorous adherence to compliance standards. They are highly reliable because the data is automatically replicated across multiple Availability Zones within an AWS Region. With 15+ database engines optimized for the application’s data model, AWS fully managed databases remove the undifferentiated heavy lifting of database administrative tasks.
