The trouble is that it gets adopted as a default for databases whose load is nothing like that, and at scale the per-capacity-unit price makes it an expensive way to run a steady workload.</p> <p>I think of Aurora Serverless less as a permanent home for a steady database and more as a temporary configuration that helps you discover the capacity a database actually needs, so you can then move it to a right-sized provisioned instance. If a database has been running at a roughly constant capacity for a year, it is not a Serverless workload.</p>
