I'm not sure if you saw this other thread, but I thought it answered one of your questions so was worth sharing. Sounds like Aurora wasn't stable when this migration began, so they did the migration with an eye towards the next migration (to Aurora).

Sorry about the c/p but I don't see a permalink on lapitopi's comment.

lapitopi 1 day ago I work on the Netflix Billing Team. PostgreSQL was indeed a very attractive option, but we wanted to keep a path to Aurora open. When we were working on the migration, Aurora was still in beta, so instead of going to Aurora directly, we decided run our own MySQL instances on EC2.

edit: begun/began
