Selective async commits in PostgreSQL – balancing ...
We use PostgreSQL locally but moved our production database over to AWS Aurora.
If I use `SET synchronous_commit = off;` in my Rails code will Aurora also mimic this behaviour?

Yes, i touched a bit on it towards the end. If you turn it off, Aurora won't wait for 4 out of 6 nodes to acknowledge the commit (
