Undifferentiated heavy lifting
What do you like best? We don't want to be database experts, since our engineers' time could be better spent providing direct value to customers (internal and external). Aurora takes care of running the database for us, so that we can focus on bigger levers. What do you dislike? Required maintenance windows can make for some short outages without a bit of work to work around them, and you still can't get the same depth of metrics that you can get from running your own MySQL cluster. ...

Love it
What do you like best? All the things it takes care of for you (bakcups ...) The new monitoring tools make performance tuning a breeze. With Postgress you can now pin explain plans which is huge for sytstem stability. What do you dislike? With MySql you don't have access to add indexes to some system tables, which makes querying some of them take a long time. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We use Aurora for all of our b2b cart ...
