At Notion we run ~100 Postgres instances and we’re pretty far off from being Fortune 500, although we have many Fortune 500 clients. We could have used this Aurora thing instead of doing sharding in the application ourselves: https://www.notion.so/blog/sharding-postgres-at-notion

Separation of compute and storage, and storage having tables being sharded is now in many modern databases (cockroachdb, clickhouse and singlestore come to mind).
This being part of native aws fully postgres compatible is exciting though.
I wish AWS brings columnstore or custom storage engine features.
But I can see why AWS wouldn’t want to bring columnstore tables - it would directly compete with redshift.
