So does it scale to zero, and scale from zero with <1s latency like Neon DB?

AWS' recent "serverless" products, Aurora Serverless v2 and MSK Serverless for example, had been very misleading with "serverless" title.

I hope it is not a lie this time.



This was announced only a couple weeks ago, but Aurora Serverless v2 can scale to zero now. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/introducing-scaling-to...

However, the latency scaling from zero is still painful, "up to 15 seconds".


If that’s what you want, try cockroachdb serverless. Scales from zero in well under 1s even for multiregion. Also actually has quite good Postgres support these days.


There's nothing in the cluster api to control scale or set instance type so this does look actually serverless for a nice change!


its supposedly serverless like dyanamo
