This is what we do also, but at a slightly higher level. EB web, and worker environments, t3a.small instances, auto scaling between 10-100 instances. And using Aurora serverless RDS.

How is your experience with serverless RDS? I heard the cold start can be as much as 30 seconds! That will be a bummer for stuff I do where I'm the only user many times lol.

We dont cold start our production environments. But yes it is slow on our staging ones.

By far the biggest issue the the relatively small connection limits.
