[@richardbenes9]

It's great when there is tutorial with a good english audio. Thank you. The content is great as well.

[@pranaytonpay1246]

you are amazing bro' .... all videos i have watched so far are the best ... I can bet, there are no better videos for AWS out there.

[@BeABetterDev]

Thanks so much Pranay!

Great to hear aargup! Hope it was helpful :)

Daniel, your videos are awesome (not only this one). Very good job, thank you.

[@BeABetterDev]

Thank you so much Pavel!

[@johnnyboghean2242]

This has been an awesome video. Cleared some things for me that I have tried to figure out the entire day. Big thank you The last piece of the puzzle for me seems to be about how to find/generate/manage the secretArn. EDIT: Found the secretArn in the secret manager, seems to have been created automatically with the db EDIT 2: ... and my day ends with a SUCCESS ... uhuuu

Great one. thanks

[@MaltheHave]

Awesome video! I'm having a hard time figuring the pricing out however. In US East (N. Virginia) the price is $0.06 per ACU Hour. But giving that it's serverless I assume that you only pay for the hours that 1 ACU is actually running. But do you also pay for the 15 minutes it takes to shut down the ACU? And what would happen if I had 1 read every 15 minutes in a day, would that mean the ACU would never be shut down and I would pay 0.06*24 = $1.44 each day? I hope you can help me shed some light on this - thank you very much in advance.

did you figure out how is charged aurora ?

You didn't cover how to login into aurora serverless from ec2 bastion I configured SG to allow connection but I still not able to login , they both in one vpc

[@uniqworldtraveller]

Force scaling capacity - didn’t really get what you mean “it wants to increase the capability to some level when there is no traffic for 5 min? “ why it increases capacity when there is no load? If I m missing something here, correct please.

[@jamescoffey5282]

Beginner here. Do you have to login as Root user or just any IAM user?

[@BeABetterDev]

Hi James, you can login as root but its not suggested. You should instead create an IAM user and be logging in with that.

[@markemerson98]

bravo, nice job again

[@joyebot7371]

Thank you

[@ashwinic2169]

Can we change default database port to different port in serverles?

[@ReflectingEnergy]

Thanks! Do you think they’ll add a SQL workbench sort of feature to Aurora Serverless? …or something nice for viewing the schema like we can in DynamoDB … or do you think they just prefer we use DynamoDB

[@andriys5772]

Thank you!

You're very welcome Andriy!

[@imransadiq5851]

Hello sir when i try to create RDS intance. The options Capacity type 'Serverless' and Data API are not shown. And becasue of that i am unable to use query editor as it requires Data API enables. But in my case no option of Data API is available. can you please guide me what can i do in order to use query editor. Thank you.

[@ianengelbrecht4773]

At around 9.10 you mention setting up internet access to aurora serverless and that you have another video for that. Could you post the link here? Many thanks!

[@benjaminjohn3740]

Any suggestion on how to load large amounts of data to an Aurora serverless instance? Today, AWS doesn't allow the use of S3 for data loads to serverless.

[@georgemap]

Great video, thank you! Will you make a video any time soon about serveless v2? What the main differences are compared to v1 and if its superior to any aspect compred to v1? It would be really great

[@BeABetterDev]

Hi George, great suggestion for a video thank you!

[@georgemap]

@@BeABetterDev glad you liked that suggestion - im looking forward to it, especially with the data api that is not available anymore

[@thorstenc.5004]

Hello, I have the problem : I adjusted Aurora serverless 2 with ACU variability, but it is always on highest level. It don't scale down. So the bill gets very high for this service. Is this an error of Aurora? Does it make a price difference if I select "Production" or "Development/Test"?

[@BeABetterDev]

Hi Thorsten, have you checked minimum/maximum ACUs? Also look at the autoscaling setting for your cluster - there may be an alarm that is being breached that is causing it to scale up. The "Production" setting likely makes a difference here. You may want to configure the cluster manually.

[@thorstenc.5004]

​@@BeABetterDev Thanks for Answer. I tryed a lot. The problem was AWS fault in scaling here. I aksed support and made the database new. The support confirmed there was a problem in Aurora scaling, so they gave me the money back I payed for high ACU without traffic. Now it work very well.

[@DiegoRFGonz88]

where are the functions, triggers, sequence and all of the other postgres objects?

[@sakarsr]

Hi, Just let us know if i can get the cost of each Aurora insistence separably. So it will help us in SASS programming.

[@amolbhandari4435]

I have react as frontend + setup on amplify + planning t use aurora db, wanted to use restapi with nodejs as the option. what way do i prroceed to do database operations

[@filipenomundo]

Is it possible for me to create an automation type from 00h to change the serverless dawn to X capacity and at 11h to change to Y capacity? What happens is that my aurora costs are high, but there are times I don't need it with X capacity. And if I leave automatic oscillating capacity, between a scale and another the application is slow and falls. have you been through this? Do you know what it is better to do?

[@BeABetterDev]

Hi Ocoroa, In the aurora configuration section, there is an option to scale down your serverless compute instances after a period of time. This only pauses compute but keeps storage running. You can write a script that modifies this and is triggered based on AWS Cloudwatch events. Hope this helps inspire.

[@bhupathivarma9170]

Please help to create video for AWS service catalog integration Aurora postgresql please...no where in internet it's found.pls share relevant link atleast.

How can I transfer a file from my ec2 to serverless

[@PavelNesterov5000]

I am not sure if you have a video about how to design the serverless system in a manageble way with different environments: sandbox, pre-producton, production. At this point I will try to create several DBs in a cluster by naming them ("sandbox" and "production"), but I also feel, that I will need somehow to manage the lambda versions in a same way. It might be too bid topic for a single video though, because it may touch the much bigger question "how to deploy and manage the entire serverless stack: API Gateways, StepFnctions, Lambdas, DBs". I am pretty sure AWS has something to solve this pretty standard need, but I turn to their documentation only if there is no video here on the topic :-)

[@BeABetterDev]

Thanks Pavel! This is a great idea that many folks have asked about. I'm putting it on my list of video TODOs that I can hopefully get to in June. Stay tuned!

[@jamescoffey5282]

Is this video outdated? chose Aurora Serverless but don't see the Web Service Data API - Data API option.

[@BeABetterDev]

Hey James, Serverless V2 which was just launched unfortunately does not yet support the Data API. I plan on making an updated aurora serverless video soon.

[@jamescoffey5282]

@@BeABetterDev Thank you for these videos. They are very well produced and I’m learning a lot from them.

[@PavelNesterov5000]

At the end of the video you are saying about combining Aurora Serverless and Lambda in the upcoming videos. I was trying to find it, but the only one I found is kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKqvp6CGoLaNoas (I haven't watched it yet). Is the video you mentioned is already public?

[@BeABetterDev]

Hi Pavel! The video you referenced has not been made public yet, however I will make it available on Patreon so you can give it a watch. Thanks! Daniel

Don't talk about cost. Dependence on a provider can always get out of control.

In 2023 AURORA IS NOT FREE TEIR, THIS COULD COST A LOT OF MONEY IF YOU DONT DELETE AFTER TUTORIAL
