“As an insurance group company, we need to be there for our customers during major disasters and critical moments in their lives, providing support as close to them as possible. To achieve this, it is crucial that our systems operate continuously and reliably. Currently, our systems are configured in a multi-region setup with a primary region and a disaster recovery (DR) region, but we experience downtime during regional failovers. We have high expectations that Aurora DSQL will address this concern. Moreover, if Aurora DSQL can significantly reduce costs and workload compared to our current architecture, it would be truly remarkable.”
