We are using AWS Aurora (non serverless) and getting crushed by IOPS charges. We do very little caching in our app, which makes the architecture simple, but the downside is we end up relying on DB-level caching implicitly. And so when the DB instance has enough memory, IOPS are modest. But once we outgrown it, we have to scale compute up just to get more RAM or else we get destroyed on IOPS.

Seems like from a cost standpoint Neon does a good job of avoiding EBS entirely and thus this particular problem would be sidestepped. Is that right?
