This is the first time I've seen it suggested that Aurora is implemented on top of S3.

This overview doesn't mention S3: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide...

That's because I meant Athena! https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/what-is.html

Athena is a query engine, not a data store. It’s actually built from Presto (or maybe it’s Trino now, I’m not sure).
