And there is always DynamoDB where you aren’t in a VPC and Serverless Aurora where you don’t have to worry about the typical database connections and you can use the http based Data APIs.

How is the Aurora Serverless Data API now? On preview release it was a bit sketchy: horrible latencies (pretty much ruining any benefit you could get from avoiding the in-VPC cold start) and a dangerous sql-query-as-a-string API (no prepared statements or placeholders for query params that would get automatically escaped IIRC).

Unfortunately, we require the ability to load/unload directly from S3 and Aurora serverless doesn’t support that. We haven’t been able to do anymore than a POC.

Dynamo is really the hardest lock-in in the ecosystem for me. Serverless Aurora is still easy to kill with too much concurrency/bad connection management compared to Dynamo

That’s theoretically where the Data API comes in.
