The transition from on-premise DB to cloud DB can be jarring. With on-premise hardware your cpu usage and query throughput are correlated. With RDS your queries will suddenly hang without indication from traditional resource metrics.
Be meticulous about your iops & cpu needs, and assess whether snapshots & replication config is worth paying 3x for.

Comparing to on-premise DB on real iron, that cost differential could easily be closer to 30x. that old saying "but it's opex, not capex" will only take you so far -- especially if you see the pricing for amazing but ten-year-old hardware at your local dedicated server leasing and then you've still got opex instead of capex.

Additional iops is 20x I’m not trying to argue that RDS isn’t expensive, but an on-demand multi-az 4 CPU / 16GB instance with 12,000 IOPS / 500MiBps bandwidth is ~$600 / month on RDS. https://calculator.aws/#/estimate?id=0d612854fb94107dcb144414c7fa0bb92f89f3e9 https://calculator.aws/#/estimate?id=0d612854fb94107dcb14441...
