This video answered all of my questions. I tried out v2 a little while back and was surprised that I was getting billed for a database I thought I wasn't using. I'm excited for the day when I can have a serverless application using a serverless database that both scale to zero so that my side projects are pretty much free. Thanks for the awesome video
Been using V1 in production for over a year. The scaling is clunky and we end up needing to provision ahead of time and scale up in advance at times which becomes costly. Hoping V2 can help solve these issues for us!
I have recently started it using .and yesterday seen 1st error of unable to connect to database for few minutes . Still debugging it ... Right now am still of the opinion there is some downtime while scaling in some scenario
"Pay some nominal cost even if you dont use it" seems the trend AWS serverless is taking. Isnt this the case with Lambda's as well if you provision the capacity?
With v2 aren't you able to connect to your db from a sql client like pg admin for the postgres engine version of aurora? Whereas with v1 I think you can't connect to your db at all through a sql client
Hello, I have the problem : I adjusted Aurora serverless 2 with ACU variability, but it is always on highest level. It don't scale down. So the bill gets very high for this service. Is this an error of Aurora? Does it make a price difference if I select "Production" or "Development/Test"?
There is no real workaround for this. The only thing you could do is to use an RDS Proxy to allow your lambda to pool and share connections that are established with the database.
Not all regions in AWS have RDS aurora serverless available. When will it be made available to all regions ? serverless v2 - will migrate due to the added features like RDS proxy and Global Databases etc. serverless v1 - has reduce our DB environment costs by 50% , we using it in production no issues since it was released. Will gladly migrate v2 if it remains feasible with regards to cost.
hmm.. v2 seems like one step forward, three steps back... all in all I still think that Aurora isn't really useful for any kind of real world application. Still a long way to go.
aws aurura serverless is fake.. 40 usd for the smallest scale on idle btw i've been using aws for a long time i'd say azure serverless is better it has true pause

Glad I could help Tom! Sounds like V2 would work well for you :)
a very helpful video and information about Aurora serverless v2 thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
No Cloudformation support for now is another huge drawback for v2
Really good point Jun. Hopefully it comes soon.
It supports CF now

Saad please do let us know what you discover!
"Pay some nominal cost even if you dont use it" seems the trend AWS serverless is taking. Isnt this the case with Lambda's as well if you provision the capacity?
Yep thats true with Lambda. The difference is that Lambda doesn't force you to use provisioned concurrency like v2 does.
Great video as always! Any indication from AWS on when the Data API will be available? It seems like a major downside.
it seems its available now
Do we have Terraform module for Aurora PostgreSQL Serverless v2, can you please explain the same.
With v2 aren't you able to connect to your db from a sql client like pg admin for the postgres engine version of aurora? Whereas with v1 I think you can't connect to your db at all through a sql client
that's my main problem to start using it. I'm gonna start testing v2 on the following days to check this out!
Would love to hear your results!
I have connected DBeaver to our Aurora V2 (mySQL) production environment
Connecting to a Serverless v1 instance directly with a SQL client (GUI, jdbc, etc.) works just fine.

Thank you so much for your videos :). Just spent the whole day trying to get a Lambda function being able to accept HTTP and then get data from Aurora and return JSON…. Kept getting errors and I believe it relates to “© Note Currently, you can't use the Data API with Aurora Serverless v2 DB instances.” - which you just pointed out. How do we get around this? :). We do this at the moment to call dynamoDB but can’t do it with Aurora?? Help :)

Is it multi region? Cross region DR?

Is Aurora Serverless v2 serverless? If it is, I'm going to deploy it next to a couple of serverless EC2 instances.

What about the free tier usage? I don't see a way to select db.t2.micro instance
