+100 for Aiven on managed databases. We moved from AWS Aurora (MySQL) to Aiven years ago because wanted to be on MySQL 8.x (unavailable on AWS at the time). We've been running a 3-node HA cluster using Aiven's control plane with peering int our VPC and it's been solid since 2019--including with auto-failover for MySQL patches that are applied from time to time during the scheduled maintenance window.
