I'm glad someone from AWS is here! Some general info on the sharding approach would be interesting, e.g. whether secondary indices on sharded tables are scatter-gather, or separately sharded on the index columns, or you configure it per index, or what.
From what I hear from folks using things like Vitess, if you're used to a monolithic SQL database there's often some things to learn to mentally model your query cost well after you move to a sharded world, and understanding more up front can save heartburn later. Writing up those details well is a good thing that AWS could do.
