This can scale up much more than a single RDS database since it spreads the data across multiple machines, but it's not exactly a replacement for MySQL database

This can scale up much more than a single RDS database since it spreads the data across multiple machines, but it's not exactly a replacement for MySQL database. It's also possible that this doesn't make use of EBS, which could make it perform more predictably and protect it from failure when EBS fails.
