r/aws on Reddit: Aurora serverless V2 approximate release date
April 2, 2019 -
Would be huge if someone with inside deets could give a rough estimate of when aurora serverless V2 will be ready for production workloads. Aurora v1 is unsuitable for our use case due to the slow scaling time, and we're wondering if we will need to launch using plain old over-provisioned RDS instances or if we'll be able to leverage the power of v2 from the future ;)

How Aurora Serverless v2 works - Amazon Aurora
With Aurora Serverless v2, you can choose for the standby compute capacity to scale up and down along with the capacity of the writer. That way, the compute capacity in the second AZ is ready to take over the current workload at any time. At the same time, the compute capacity in all AZs can scale down when the database is idle. For details about how Aurora works with AWS Regions and Availability Zones, see High availability for Aurora DB instances.

r/aws on Reddit: Aurora Serverless V1 EOL December 31, 2024
December 28, 2023 -
Just got this email from AWS:
We are reaching out to let you know that as of December 31, 2024, Amazon Aurora will no longer support Serverless version 1 (v1). As per the Aurora Version Policy [1], we are providing 12 months notice to give you time to upgrade your database cluster(s). Aurora supports two versions of Serverless. We are only announcing the end of support for Serverless v1. Aurora Serverless v2 continues to be supported. We recommend that you proactively upgrade your databases running Amazon Aurora Serverless v1 to Amazon Aurora Serverless v2 at your convenience before December 31, 2024.
As for my understanding serverless V1 has a few pros over V2. Namely that V1 scales truly to zero. I'm surprised to see the push to V2. Anyone have thoughts on this?

I’m pretty disappointed that Aurora Serverless V2 cannot seem to scale to 0 ACU. Ya know, what “serverless” is supposed to mean? I think it ends up being around like $50/month at minimum.

I'm very disappointed. I expect Amazon Aurora Serverless usage to drop off a cliff now and the service to eventually be deprecated unless AWS changes course. Why? Aurora Serverless is more expensive than regular Aurora, so you should only use it if you need auto-scaling. Most DB workloads are read heavy. Read heavy workloads have been able to use (regular) Aurora to scale up the # of Read replicas since 2017: https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2017/11/amazon-aurora-now-supports-auto-scaling-for-aurora-replicas/ https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/Aurora.Integrating.AutoScaling.html If a DB workload is write heavy then it tends to be logs or similar and (probably) isn't using Aurora Serverless at all The number of AWS customers who have a need for auto-scaling write instances (which is the only thing Aurora Serverless V2 is good for) must be small. I can't think of any good use cases for auto scaling write instances... but I'm sure there are some. Before the loss of V1, there was another use case for Aurora Serverless: Dev environments. Dev environments ought to scale down to 0 or be suspended, and it's always been easier to let AWS handle scaling down than to implement another solution to suspend environments over the weekend / at other times. Once you are using it for your dev environment, it's natural to use it for your staging and prod environments to maintain consistency. That's why I use it: not because I scale down to 0 in Prod, but because Dev scales down to 0 and Prod needs to use the same stuff Dev uses. I will migrate to regular Aurora while using read replicas. I am disappointed I have to do this.
