AWS Expands Lightsail With Larger Managed Database Bundles

AWS has expanded Amazon Lightsail by introducing larger managed database bundles, giving developers and small teams more headroom as applications grow. The new options provide increased compute, memory and storage capacity for managed databases while retaining Lightsail’s simplified pricing and operational model. AWS launched two larger database bundles of up to 8 vCPUs, 32GB memory and 960 GB SSD storage. The update is designed for workloads that have outgrown entry-level configurations but do not yet require the complexity of services such as Amazon RDS.

Lightsail has traditionally targeted developers, startups and small businesses seeking predictable costs and minimal infrastructure management. By offering larger managed database bundles, AWS is extending Lightsail’s usefulness for longer stages of the application lifecycle. This option is ideal for e-commerce, content management, business intelligence and running SaaS products. The databases are available in all regions where Amazon Lightsail is available.
