So, I moved one of our Postgres DBs to Aurora Serverless V2 (for testing). First the process is super ridiculous. Anyways I am quite disappointed. One of the main reasons was their "scaling to 0" for some DBs we get close to none and then really spiky traffic. But they removed that! So, that leaves you with .5 ACUs running no matter what. But that is not great! Its 0.07 per hour, a t3.micro is 0.02 an hour. I was looking for a DB that could scale to 0 cost and then ramp up to handle > 10k requests per seconds.
