It's just a beefed up EC2. I don't have high traffic so cannot say how well the autoscaling works but apart from that, not much different than putting your app on EC2.
I use Sequelize as my ORM. There are debates around using/not using ORMs but personally I feel weird writing raw SQL in any language except a SQL terminal.

Do you use any ORM or just raw SQL queries?
