Amazon Aurora vs MariaDB

Amazon Aurora is a MySQL and PostgreSQL-compatible relational database service built for the cloud, offered as part of Amazon Web Services. It provides up to five times the throughput of standard MySQL and three times that of PostgreSQL with automatic scaling, replication, and backup.

MariaDB is community-developed fork of MySQL with additional storage engines and performance improvements. It provides comprehensive features for databases workflows. The tool is actively maintained with regular updates and strong community/vendor support.
