What has changed though, is that we’ve replaced our $10k/month Aurora instances with a $200/month Elastic Block Storage (EBS) volume.

Holy shit, I hope whoever wrote this gets a fat bonus at the end of the year. That's a truly astounding savings.

What they don’t say is how much in developer time they’ve spent rolling their own database. Then there’s also maintenance and new features.

I'm sure their custom database will be easy to find people to support and maintain
