I use MySQL Aurora quite heavily and, for our purposes(very high usage, but simple query pattern) there's no obvious differences outside of one major annoyance.

The engineers at Plaid wrote a really useful article on the differences: https://plaid.com/blog/exploring-performance-differences-bet...

The biggest, for me, is that Aurora clusters use shared storage and therefore the isolation model is slightly different(plus other ramifications), read committed is only possible by setting a cluster wide parameter and read uncommitted is not possible, as far as I can tell.
