Whitepaper Announcement: Benchmarking Amazon Aurora.

This is just a quick blog post to inform readers of a good paper that shows some how-to information for benchmarking Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL. This is mostly about sysbench which is used to test transactional capabilities.

As an aside, many readers my have heard that I’m porting SLOB to PostgreSQL and will make that available in May 2018. It’ll be called “pgio” and is an implemention of the SLOB Method as described in the SLOB documentation. Adding pgio, to tools like sysbench, rounds-out the toolkit for testing platform readiness for your PostgreSQL applications.

    Hi Kevin,
    AWS is promoting Aurora as a substitute for Oracle RAC.
    https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/amazon-aurora-as-an-alternative-to-oracle-rac/

    What are your thought on it?

    Regards,

      Old post and really an application topic. Hard to bolt your E-Business Suite instance to anything other than Oracle Database. But if you can port *your application* to use PostgreSQL then I think the article makes some valid points.
