The numbers weren't "all this together". I was just saying if 100% of spend was in category X, this is how much you'd get.
It highlighted pretty well, evidenced by your comment, that RDS was not likely a significant portion of their spend.

What'd you use those 3 for?

Basically, we had three types of data: 1) everything associated with the SERPs, 2) most things associated with payments, and 3) everything else.
Category three was relational, IIRC like ~2TB. We originally stored it all on a custom MySQL cluster, and we started running into pretty bad replication lag. Amazon came around with Arora and promised we'd never have any replication lag. We switched over. Still had replication lag.
~3500 16xl RDS aurora instances? I worked at one of the 100 biggest websites on the internet (a search engine), and we only had 3. Why/how would Lyft need 1000x that!?
