There's nothing stopping you from using a scale-out architecture with Aurora, and nothing stopping you from running MySQL on your own hardware with loads of SSDs to get the throughput you are after.

You mean to say that I can scale my single MySQL instance linearly with data storage by just throwing bigger SSDs at it? That has not been my experience, please share how you have been able to accomplish this?
- loco77 12y agoFair point, I don't know what voodoo they use, but you can purchase monstrously big servers (you'll need more than just one fit availability in any event) and storage arrays that would exceed the performance requirements of the vast majority of plausible use cases. The cost of such equipment is likely more expensive than AWS though.
