Provision a Multi-AZ RDS instance versus an Aurora cluster with a writer and reader via the SDK - CreateDBInstance, CreateDBCluster, StorageEncrypted, and the waiters that gate each one - in boto3 and AWS SDK v3.
Query Aurora over HTTPS with no connection pool using the RDS Data API - ExecuteStatement, named parameters, BatchExecuteStatement, and BeginTransaction/CommitTransaction via @aws-sdk/client-rds-data - in boto3 and AWS SDK v3.
A checklist for building on RDS and Aurora from the SDK - provisioning, security and credentials, backups and DR, high availability and read routing, connection management, and cost - for boto3 and AWS SDK v3.
