RDS PG stripes multiple gp3 volumes so that's why RDS throughput is higher than gp3

I think 80k IOPs on gp3 is a newer release so presumably AWS hasn't updated RDS from the old max of 64k. iirc it took a while before gp3 and io2 were even available for RDS after they were released as EBS options

Edit: Presumably it takes some time to do testing/optimizations to make sure their RDS config can achieve the same performance as EBS. Sometimes there are limitations with instance generations/types that also impact whether you can hit maximum advertised throughput


Only if you allocate (and pay for) more than 400GB. And if you have high traffic 24/7 beware of "EBS optimized" instances which will fall down to baseline rates after a certain time. I use vantage.sh/rds (not affiliated) to get an overview of the tons of instance details stretched out over several tables in AWS docs.
