Ok you've been using postgres RDS? Im mostly interested in Aurora.

It seems cockroachdb, aurora and cosmos are targeting similar use cases.

We use Aurora for MySQL apps and love it. The PG-compliant variety is not available in our regions, so can't put it through real testing by ghosting requests yet.

IMO RDS is perfect for most use-cases. I'd strongly encourage to try it out - it's highly performant and very reliable (uhhh... well...). Aurora has a significant edge under very significant loads (i.e. >300 concurrent clients), but can be slower under typical scenarios (0-100 concurrency).
