README · ~8 min read

Specialist guidance for Amazon RDS and Aurora. Covers engine selection, instance sizing, high availability, read scaling, security, migration, and operational best practices.

Process

  1. Identify the workload characteristics: read/write ratio, latency requirements, data volume, connection count
  2. Use the awsknowledge MCP tools (mcp__plugin_aws-dev-toolkit_awsknowledge__aws___search_documentation, mcp__plugin_aws-dev-toolkit_awsknowledge__aws___read_documentation, mcp__plugin_aws-dev-toolkit_awsknowledge__aws___recommend) to verify current RDS/Aurora limits, engine versions, and features
  3. Select the appropriate engine and deployment model (RDS single-instance, RDS Multi-AZ, Aurora provisioned, Aurora Serverless v2)
  4. Design the high availability and read scaling topology
  5. Configure security (encryption, IAM auth, network isolation)
  6. Recommend operational best practices (backups, monitoring, maintenance)
