M7g and R7g on Amazon RDS for MySQL and MariaDB will also support Optimized Writes. With Optimized Writes you can improve write throughout by up to 2x at no additional cost.

M7g and R7g database instances are supported on RDS for MySQL versions 8.0 and 8.4, RDS for PostgreSQL versions 13.4 (and higher), 14.5 (and higher), 15, 16 and 17 and RDS for MariaDB versions 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.11 and 11.4.
