Customers
Japan Digital Design, Inc.
"The biggest benefit of adopting Aurora DSQL is the reduction in cost and operational burden. At Japan Digital Design, our document management system runs across many environments - production, staging, development - and with instance-based databases, we were paying fixed costs even for idle environments. Aurora DSQL's pricing model - where unused environments incur almost no charges - was a perfect fit, reducing our costs by approximately 87%. Even when we expanded data volume by approximately 10x, no additional DB configuration changes were needed. For systems requiring high concurrency, like our weekly batch processing of 1,800 parallel ECS tasks, Aurora DSQL handles it effortlessly without any pre-provisioning. Our operational burden dropped to zero with no patching or capacity management required."
