A business-license database is busy during renewal season and nearly idle the rest of the year. Which relational option best aligns cost with that duty cycle?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Renewal season needs a roaring database; August needs a nap. Aurora Serverless flexes with that seasonal license rush so you're not paying peak RDS all year for an empty waiting room.
Full Explanation
Aurora Serverless scales database capacity with demand and can reduce cost for intermittent or seasonal municipal workloads such as business-license renewals. Continuously provisioning peak RDS size wastes idle spend. DynamoDB is not a transparent SQL drop-in, and unbacked self-managed databases create risk that dwarfs short-term savings.
