Using Aurora MySQL for over a year now in prod, purrs like a kittycat.
Just don't use the AWS Database Migration Service if you can help it, that thing has a couple of badly documented pitfalls. (Fe. tables can't have ENUM fields)
AWS Database Migration Service had a shockingly large gap between how it's marketed and how well it actually performed.
It had so many gotchas and broken features. I'd be amazed if anyone got it really working on large applications without weeks of time invested.
It would be so cool though if it worked seamlessly. It addresses some of the hardest tasks in DB management, namely zero downtime server migration.
