Ah ok, interesting - I haven't tried Aurora, my company uses a mixture of RDS postgres and Dynamo. Cockroachdb and Yugabyte also seem like good options but a harder sell for us not being AWS native.

More generally though, all of these "newsql" offerings feel a little too good to be true for me, I can't see how you could really have all the relational integrity of postgres with the elastic scalability of a distributed DB without trading something off. Am I too cynical?
