Yep. Just got a reply from my guy at Amazon who referred me to https://youtu.be/U42mC_iKSBg

Which clearly says compatible and goes into more depth than anyone really needs.

I would say this person would be authoritive, rather than documentation which is usually not written by the developers themselves. But you knew that already. Right?

So I educated myself. Maybe you should too :-)

"Mostly a hardware play", mmhm. That's contradicted by the video. But I can't be right can I? I don't have enough fake internet points! SMH

BTW my test with MySQL was only a few years ago, and it was InnoDB, thanks.

I should say I've not used LAMP stacks in anger for that period of time. I still very occasionally pick up php and still find the documentation woefully inadequate and wrong. Over time I've moved over to python for my hacky projects and whilst I still consider whitespace as syntax to be insane, it's actually easier to get stuff done.

You might disagree with my opinions, but disagreeing with my experience is quite embarrassing.

You do realize that MariaDB is also Mysql compatible? As is PerconaDB. No one is arguing that aurora isn't mysql compatible and that video doesn't contradict AWSs own website that says mysql compatible aurora is based on mysql.
