Pretty certain that DO tunes to broad usage performance optimization (all the easy, obvious performance wins), not dynamically per client to each client's usage.

Here's their pitch: easy setup & maintenance, scaling, daily backups, optional standby nodes & automated failover, fast reliable performance including SSDs, can run on the private network at DO and encrypts data at rest & in transit.

huh, when I used them in the past we had someone specifically look at our RDS and data usage and tune it.
