AWS Aurora Postgres Serverless v2 has that capability, though it takes multiple seconds.

AWS Aurora is way too expensive and their "serverless" offerings are overly complicated and not worth it IMHO.

I used Serverless v1 and then they doubled the prices for v2 while removing features so I moved to PlanetScale. They were great but as I grew and wanted multiple smaller DBs they didn't really have a good way to do that and I moved to Neon. Now, with this news, I guess I'll be looking for an alternative.

Was just about to react to someone being wrong on the internet and say that this is not true. Instead, TIL that this is, in fact, the case. Since 2024Q4.
