Wow. This is alarming.

We have done a similar operation routinely on databases under pretty write intensive workloads (like 10s of thousands of inserts per second). It is so routine we have automation to adjust to planned changes in volume and do so a dozen times a month or so. It has been very robust for us. Our apps are designed for it and use AWS’s JDBC wrapper.

Just one more thing to worry about I guess…

Not really: Their storage layer worked perfectly and prevented the ACID violations.
