Did you experience a situation where you had to upgrade you Aurora Instances due to huge CPU utilization ?

Yes, that is a very common case. The highest reported problem with aurora is the unexpected spikes in CPU utilization. While Same load on regular (the real) PostgreSQL is not causing any spike.

Also, did you come across a situation where your Aurora bills were increasing with the amount of workload due to increase in IOPS ?
