>Aurora is Amazon's own relational database. You can't run it yourself, only with Amazon. It can pretend to be either Postgres or MySQL. And it'll be cheaper and faster and have higher availability. But it won't be the exact same bits and bytes as your own Postgres, so there's some risks.
That doesn't ring true to me. From my understanding rds aurora mostly replaces the storage engines of these DBs and the frontent mostly follows upstream releases and is compatible with them.
