Amazon Aurora Now Available

Does anyone know how this benchmarks against Postgres and MySQL? Would be curious to see how TPC-C runs on this platform but I can't find any studies of any independent parties benchmarking Aurora.

It only just came out of preview, so I'd expect someone independent to test it out in the coming weeks. Maybe / hopefully one of the Percona folks?

Edit: typo (out of preview)

For TPC-C like benchmarks, you can run: 1) CloudHarmony: https://github.com/cloudharmony/oltpbench 2) Percona: https://code.launchpad.net/~perconadev/perconatools/tpcc-mys...

We've found it easier to load large datasets using CloudHarmony but have run both.

I'd recommend reading through http://d0.awsstatic.com/product-marketing/Aurora/RDS_Aurora_.... It is oriented towards SysBench, but will help you set up your clients to have enough network throughput to run a full test.

Generally, we find the performance comparison improves on large instances, high throughput workloads, or when the data set does not fit in RAM.
