Deep dive on cross-Region DR with Amazon Aurora global databases
summary
Amazon Aurora global databases replicate at the storage layer across up to six regions (primary + five secondaries) using physical replication and support up to 150,000 writes/sec with typical cross‑region replica lag <1s. Each region can have up to 15 read replicas (so up to ~90 readers globally), offer cross‑region backups to S3 and point‑in‑time recovery, and provide managed features: managed RPO (configurable, min 20s) and RTO ~1 minute with managed planned failover.
