AWS Aurora has been in general release since July 2015. I've been considering using it for a larger project, but casual reading of the AWS forums ( https://forums.aws.amazon.com/search.jspa?objID=f60&q=Aurora&x=0&y=0 ) suggest its performance gains are not universal, has high replication lag and is generally unstable for some.I was initially very excited for it based on their AWS deep dive talks, but the AWS forums have tempered my enthusiasm somewhat. Is there anyone here using it in production that would care to share stories of its use, and any pitfalls they encountered?
