Amazon Aurora Provisioned vs Amazon Aurora Serverless
Developers should use Amazon Aurora Provisioned for production workloads with steady, predictable traffic where performance and high availability are critical, such as e-commerce platforms, enterprise applications, or financial systems meets developers should use aurora serverless for applications with unpredictable or spiky database usage patterns, such as development and test environments, low-traffic applications, or infrequently accessed applications, as it reduces costs by only charging for the database resources consumed. Here's our take.
