Ahhhh... well you might've dodged a bullet to be honest! If I were to do it all again, there's a good chance I might stick with the standard tools rather than DMS.

Thanks for the in depth article by the way, very well written!

Keep an eye on your AuroraStorageIO costs going forward, as we said, we halved our costs and increased performance by switching back to RDS and increasing the PIOPs available. I'm sure that'll be workload sensitive though, so YMMV. We did a bunch of benchmarking, and aurora seemed nice apart from this.

We must've lucked out, as we got Jesse at the start.
