RDS & Aurora Sizing Guide
Memory-Optimized (db.r / db.x)
Standard choice for production relational databases. High RAM-to-vCPU ratio ensures query working sets and buffer pools fit comfortably in memory, minimizing disk I/O penalties.
General Purpose (db.m)
Balanced memory-to-vCPU allocation suitable for mid-sized relational workloads, reporting queries, or backend operational services with moderate cache sizes.
Burstable (db.t)
Cost-effective for development, test environments, and light traffic databases. Accumulates baseline CPU credits during idle periods; avoid for high sustained production loads.
Graviton Generations
Graviton4 (db.r8g) and Graviton3 (db.r7g) offer superior performance, lower latency, and 10%–20% lower hourly cost than legacy x86 (db.r5, db.r6i) equivalents.
