AWS RDS advice

Hello, I am looking at the recommendations for running against an AWS database in the documentation, and it looks like Coder supports RDS Postgres. However, there is a note that says it is recommended to have sub-10ms latency between the Coder server and database, and it appears AWS RDS Postgres only supports a single writer. Since I am running Coder Community edition in EKS, there is a risk the Coder traffic has to cross availability zones. I previously had it running against a k8s-hosted Postgres via Helm and want to upgrade to something more mature. Have people been successful with RDS Postgres and cross-AZ traffic or should I consider Aurora?

Hi, sorry, I also didn't respond to this. Nobody has followed up - the Amazon docs hint that cross-AZ traffic is usually single-digit millisecond latency. Do you know if crossing an AZ boundary to talk to a database commonly poses issues?
