Detailed Comparison
With it , you can offload the administrative burden of operating and scaling a highly available distributed database cluster, while paying a low price for only what you use. | Amazon Aurora is a MySQL-compatible, relational database engine that combines the speed and availability of high-end commercial databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open source databases. Amazon Aurora provides up to five times better performance than MySQL at a price point one tenth that of a commercial database while delivering similar performance and availability. |
Automated Storage Scaling – There is no limit to the amount of data you can store in a DynamoDB table, and the service automatically allocates more storage, as you store more data using the DynamoDB write APIs;Provisioned Throughput – When creating a table, simply specify how much request capacity you require. DynamoDB allocates dedicated resources to your table to meet your performance requirements, and automatically partitions data over a sufficient number of servers to meet your request capacity;Fully Distributed, Shared Nothing Architecture | High Throughput with Low Jitter;Push-button Compute Scaling;Storage Auto-scaling;Amazon Aurora Replicas;Instance Monitoring and Repair;Fault-tolerant and Self-healing Storage;Automatic, Continuous, Incremental Backups and Point-in-time Restore;Database Snapshots;Resource-level Permissions;Easy Migration;Monitoring and Metrics |

What are some alternatives to Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Aurora?
Amazon RDS
Amazon RDS gives you access to the capabilities of a familiar MySQL, Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server database engine. This means that the code, applications, and tools you already use today with your existing databases can be used with Amazon RDS. Amazon RDS automatically patches the database software and backs up your database, storing the backups for a user-defined retention period and enabling point-in-time recovery. You benefit from the flexibility of being able to scale the compute resources or storage capacity associated with your Database Instance (DB Instance) via a single API call.
