Our Solutions Engineers spend a significant amount of time talking to customers who are deployed in a DBaaS environment, or who are considering moving to DBaaS.
A common theme of these discussions is what a “fully-managed database service” actually means in real terms?
Our latest solution brief addresses this issue, comparing the “fully managed” offerings of Percona Managed Database Services (PMDS) and Amazon Aurora.
Selecting the most suitable database technologies and cloud providers to achieve business success is crucial. Businesses are looking for the best database solutions at the right prices. But, having so many options available can be confusing.
To make things clearer, we examine the key differences between Percona Managed Database Services (PMDS) and Amazon Aurora in various areas, including:
- Operational functions
- Application and performance
- Architecture and design
- Monitoring and troubleshooting
- Cost comparison
To help you make the right choices, we also discuss:

- Why DBaaS does not automatically solve your performance and architecture issues
- How detailed is the monitoring provided by DBaaS?
- Does DBaaS cover troubleshooting outages and issues?
- When and how you can reduce costs with alternative solutions.
