They are 100% selling it as standard PostgreSQL.. With benefits.


I didn’t get that vibe from the docs - to me I got it as mostly postgres compatible API with a different storage layer that has benefits.


Sorry for the very late reply, but Aurora PostgreSQL isn't just wire protocol compatible like CockRoachDB. It actually is PostgreSQL modified for their service. It includes all your favorite PG extensions and even large object functionality.


Yea but it’s modified for their service as you say - it’s not Postgres because it’s not the same storage layer and it’s not open source
