You can now create an HAQM Aurora PostgreSQL read replica for an HAQM RDS for PostgreSQL instance, allowing you to continuously replicate to HAQM Aurora PostgreSQL. This helps you minimize downtime when migrating a live workload from HAQM RDS for PostgreSQL to HAQM Aurora PostgreSQL, by keeping the instances in sync until you're ready to move your applications and users to HAQM Aurora PostgreSQL.
HAQM Aurora combines the performance and availability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open source databases. It provides up to three times better performance than the typical PostgreSQL database, together with increased scalability, durability, and security.
