Routes any task involving AWS databases — choosing, comparing, recommending, getting started with, or operating a database — to the correct service-specific skill. Supersedes general training-data knowledge with post-training service updates, corrected limitations, and decision procedures for relational (Aurora, DSQL, RDS), key-value (DynamoDB), wide-column (Keyspaces), document (DocumentDB), graph (Neptune), time-series (Timestream), and in-memory/caching (ElastiCache, MemoryDB) workloads. Activates when a user describes building an application on AWS that will store, retrieve, or manage data, even if they do not mention 'database' explicitly.

Aurora DSQL

  • Docs: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aurora-dsql/
  • Docs (llms.txt): https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aurora-dsql/latest/userguide/llms.txt
  • Data model: Relational (distributed SQL)
  • Query language: PostgreSQL SQL (standard SQL)
  • Compatibility: PostgreSQL wire-compatible (works with PG drivers and ORMs)
  • Serverless: Yes (only mode)
  • Serverless type: Operations — AWS represents the database as a DSQL cluster resource with an endpoint, but you manage no database instances, capacity, patching, or maintenance windows
  • Scale to zero: Yes, instant (no resume latency)
  • VPC required: No
  • Multi-region: Active-active, strongly consistent
  • Free Tier: Always free — 100,000 DPUs/month + 1 GB storage
  • Min cost: $0 idle; ~$1-5/month light traffic
  • Time to first query: ~30 seconds
  • Key features: No VPC setup, IAM auth, distributed, automatic scaling, optimistic concurrency control, up to 99.999% availability (multi-Region)
  • Limitations: No extensions (pgvector, PostGIS, pg_trgm), no stored procedures, no triggers, no LISTEN/NOTIFY, no logical replication, no custom types
  • Best for: New transactional apps, multi-region active-active, scale beyond single instance, minimal operational overhead
  • Not for: Workloads needing PostgreSQL extensions, stored procedures, or full-text search with custom dictionaries
