Great post! Did you migrate your old database to Azure Flexible Server, Hyperscale (Citus) or a standalone VM, as Postgres 13 does not seem to be available for Azure Postgres Single Server.
I was in management for 4 years and moved to another company as an IC. There was a lot of responsibility and stress being a manager and it was taking a toll on my health. I'm now a lot more happier and healthier in my technical role and it actually pays more too!
Sounds like you're in a high management role with potentially a lot of power. Why don't you control you're environment to make it more suitable for you? Delegate tasks you don't like. Make other people attend meetings for you.
With infrastructure in multiple regions, do you have independent Aurora databases running in each region? Do you have any data synchronising between regions or are they running completely independently?

Sounds like us. Either that or my wife and I would take turns carrying our kid around while the other finishes off their meal.
