Hey, regarding 4. we came across this but didn't find anything from the article particularly helpful for us: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/reducing-aurora-postgresql-storage-i-o-costs/ https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/reducing-aurora-postgr... (we bounced to normal RDS postgres and reduced our costs a lot while keeping performance similar, check out my other comments on this thread for details).

& with RDS postgres, in a lot of cases, you're probably o.k. with gp2 vs the much more expensive io1 provisioned IOPs storage unless you have a fairly business database (100s-1000s qps) The main difference is 95% performance SLA on gp2 vs >99 on io1 (You get 3x IOP per GB on gp2)

  io1 also has a slight better performance than gp2
