Good point! I kept the configuration of the Postgres pretty close to the defaults, and it would be interesting to compare it with the same default Aurora Postgres.

And it should be easy to add - I'll check it, thanks!

I would really see this compared to what AWS is offering via RDS

Yes! This was my initial dilemma - whether to test RDS or self-hosted Postgres on EC2. I decided to start with EC2 to be a bit more "pure", and remove cost overhead of RDS.

But support for RDS is my next candidate for development. Plus, comparison would also be interesting.
