> but no actual production experience

Ok, so it would be unethical for me to suggest that you lie and imply that you have actual production experience but... there's really no way for most interviewers to realistically check whether or not the company you worked for did or didn't use (say) AWS Aurora in some internal projects. That's why they do technical screens and ask you trivia questions about things.
