Multiple engineers. Any timezone. One consistent schema. Backed by Aurora DSQL's multi-region active-active architecture — the only database that makes global schema consistency a database guarantee, not an app workaround.
How DSQL multi-region consistency overthrows traditional web workarounds.
Follow a single schema change as it journeys across the global active-active pipeline.
An engineer in Tokyo drags a table card or adds a primary key. The frontend hooks fire immediate local calculations, updating the local UI state without waiting for a database roundtrip.
Simultaneously, the movement client triggers cursor update writes. Because presence is high-frequency but temporary, it goes to DynamoDB with a 30-second TTL. If the user disconnects, their cursor automatically self-expires.
The schema state modification hits the serverless API which wraps the queries in a withDSQLRetry loop. The transaction runs locally in the nearest active-active AWS endpoint without lock delays.
AWS distributes the database state updates globally. If another user in New York edited the same table at the exact same millisecond, DSQL detects the conflict at commit time, rolls back the loser, and automatically runs a retry loop, serving a consistent design canvas to all users.
