At AWS re:Invent 2024, AWS announced the latest edition to their database offerings: Aurora DSQL, which is now in Preview. The fact that AWS, a company with $100+ billion in ARR, is investing in distributed SQL, is further confirmation of what our founders and team have bet on for nearly a decade: distributed SQL solves a lot of business-critical problems, and it’s a solution that is here to stay. In short – competition is validation. While we’re thrilled that DSQL undoubtedly will drive more interest and choice in the area of distributed SQL databases, it is important to highlight some of the notable differences between DSQL and CockroachDB.
