aws supports this as well: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide...

Aurora clones are copy-on-write at the storage layer, which solves part of the problem, but RDS still provisions you a new cluster with its own endpoints, etc, which is slow ~10 mins, so not really practical for the integration testing use case.
This is on the cluster level, while the article is talking about the database level, I believe.
