Learn how to create an on-demand pay-as-you-go PostGIS database with Amazon Aurora. PostGIS, the leading relational spatial database, is now available to use with Amazon Aurora Serverless for Postgres. Amazon Aurora Serverless is differentiated from existing cloud database solutions because it supports a fully on-demand configuration. The database scales automatically when under load, and can be configured to shutdown completely when not in use. In its “cold” state the user only pays for data stored, making this ideal for variable workloads and price-sensitive applications. This demonstration will introduce the key concepts of Aurora Serverless, and showcase database creation, configuration, and loading data via QGIS. The session is suitable for anyone who is familar working with PostGIS databases. The session will conclude with how to perform a query to the database without a connection, using the Aurora Data API in a Lambda function. Requirements: knowledge of how to create a PostGIS database, an Amazon Web Services account if you want to follow along at home.
