Amazon Aurora serverless is now available with 30% better performance and smarter scaling in additional AWS Regions

[Amazon Aurora serverless](https://aws.amazon.com/rds/aurora/serverless/) now delivers up to 30% better performance and enhanced scaling in additional AWS Regions: Asia Pacific (New Zealand), Asia Pacific (Thailand), Africa (Cape Town), Europe (Milan), and Mexico (Central). These improvements are available for both Aurora PostgreSQL and Aurora MySQL. Aurora serverless is the autoscaling database that scales up to support your most demanding workloads and down to zero when you don't need it, so you only pay for what you actually use. The enhanced scaling algorithm efficiently handles workloads where multiple tasks compete for resources, such as busy web applications and API services. Together, these improvements make Aurora serverless especially well suited for agentic AI applications, which see traffic bursts, idle periods, and unpredictable usage. These improvements are delivered in platform version 4 at no additional cost. New clusters, restores, and clones launch on platform version 4 automatically. Existing clusters running earlier platform versions can upgrade to platform version 4 through a pending maintenance action, a stop and restart, or blue/green deployments.
