Why wouldn't you run your test on aws if it needs to integrate with rdb anyway?

Or are your code changes so massive that "git push" is slow?

No massive.. But yes, git push takes a few seconds, but bearable. Once pushed, I'd need to do some SSH into the Jenkins server, so you run only your brand new integration test. Running the test there is super fast, but everything else including typing one character in PuTTY is slowed dowwn.

All this while you are expected to fix 10 tickets for the whole day plus anything that goes wrong in production.
