Aurora DSQL is a new global, serverless, scalable relational database system, built at AWS. In this talk, I’ll dive into the architecture of DSQL, how it handles transactions, and how and why it was designed to minimize coordination. We’ll touch on transaction protocols, isolation, and virtualization.
