Isn't the point of AWS / RDS to be able to scale infinitely? I don't remember if RDS has one of their data backends that they are using.

- toomuchtodo 9y agoThis is mostly marketing. You can scale to infinity only if you're app is architected in a very particular way and you're properly using the underlying primitives (be prepared to shard, cache, and queue everything at some point; try to put thought into where your demarcation points will be, it will make future decoupling less painful). Even Aurora Postgresql and Mysql only scale so far. One click it is not.
