Amazon RDS

Amazon Aurora is a managed relational database service from Amazon Web Services (AWS). In the cited discussion, it is described as a database for short-lived instances that agents can create and dispose of, with AWS rethinking the service for faster instance creation and disposal.

CockroachDB is a distributed SQL database developed by Cockroach Labs. It is compatible with the PostgreSQL wire protocol and supports most PostgreSQL syntax, data types, drivers, and ORMs. CockroachDB scales horizontally: every node can accept reads and writes, while data automatically rebalances across nodes and hotspot detection adjusts distribution as load changes. It can be fully managed on AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure, operated in a customer's cloud account, or self-hosted on Kubernetes, on-premises, or in hybrid environments. In the video's Form3 case, CockroachDB served as the single data store across all three cloud providers for a multi-cloud payments platform.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a cloud computing platform and subsidiary of Amazon that provides on-demand computing resources and services including compute, storage, databases, networking, analytics, machine learning, and developer tools. AWS offers these services to individuals, enterprises, and governments on a pay-as-you-go basis.

PostgreSQL is an open-source relational database management system maintained by the PostgreSQL Global Development Group. It provides SQL-compliant, ACID transactions, MVCC concurrency, and extensibility through custom types, functions and extensions, and is used for general-purpose and enterprise database workloads.

Amazon EC2 is Amazon Web Services' cloud compute service, providing secure, resizable computing capacity as part of AWS's cloud-computing platform on a pay-for-use basis. It provides a sandbox or virtual-machine environment inside a VPC for running agents securely, with a broad choice of processors, storage, networking, operating systems, and purchase models.
