Amazon Aurora Serverless Scales Faster for AI Agents

Aurora serverless just got a serious speed boost for handling bursty workloads like agentic AI. It now hits 12 ACUs in under a second and scales up to 256 ACUs as needed, then drops to zero when idle—perfect for unpredictable traffic patterns. The upgrade rolls out automatically on platform versions 3 and 4 with zero config hassle. If you're still on v1 or v2, you can upgrade directly to v4 to grab these improvements.
