I’m a solid “no” on any primary datastore database thingy that’s under 5 years of industry wide production workload experience, and would seriously weigh it against something with 10+ years industry use.

In 2019 when I was interviewing at companies for my next position I heard from a few places that the original Aurora for Postgres lost their data. It seems like the sentiment on mainline Aurora has improved a bit, but I would never bet my company’s future on an AWS preview technology.

What about CockroachDB? There are real-world, large-scale deployments of it (e.g Netflix) going back more than 5 years easy.

It might be a good choice, I don't know enough about either the technology or the market for CockroachDB expertise.
