I was very unhappy to find that RDS does not support cross-region read replication for Postgres, only for MySQL. We had made a significant investment to migrate from MySQL to Postgres but are now having to back out a lot of changes, because we need that redundancy.
Postgres is widely acknowledged as the leading open source database. It's frustrating that it remains a second class citizen on AWS.
