OP probably means not worrying about instances, scaling or over/under provisioning etc, just service usage at a more fine grained level.. more like Spanner

It’s been a while since I looked at it but isn’t that how Aurora works? Isn’t that (along with performance) their argument for why you should use it over MySQL or Postgres in RDS?

Exactly. I don't want to care about the server or the hardware or the OS. Just give me a database with tables and standard SQL querying capabilities and performance.

It's RDS in general, which supports a number of RDBMS.
