| Founded | 2006 | 2022 |
| Integrations | Aurora MySQL can invoke AWS Lambda functions and load data from or save data to Amazon S3. | The S3-compatible API works with tools and libraries including boto3, AWS SDKs, AWS CLI, Terraform, and rclone by changing the endpoint and access keys. |
| Migration | AWS says MySQL and PostgreSQL databases can be migrated to and from Aurora using standard tools; Babelfish supports legacy SQL Server applications on Aurora PostgreSQL with minimal code change. | Shadow buckets keep an existing S3-compatible store and Tigris in sync, copying objects on first read and mirroring writes without a hard cutover. |
| Product | Amazon Aurora is a fully managed relational database service with PostgreSQL, MySQL, and DSQL engines. | Tigris is globally distributed, S3-compatible object storage designed for performance, simplicity, cost efficiency, and AI workloads. |
| Security | Aurora supports encryption at rest using AWS KMS keys and uses SSL (AES-256) to secure data in transit. | The features page states that Tigris has SOC 2 Type II, offers HIPAA BAA availability, encrypts data at rest and in transit, and supports access controls down to prefix and operation. |
| Support | Customers with an active AWS Premium Support plan can contact AWS for Aurora-specific troubleshooting and guidance. | The pricing page directs users with extraordinary bandwidth needs or unexpected traffic billing questions to [email protected]. |
