I recently came across a TPC-C benchmark results held on MySQL based RDS databases. You can see it here. I think the results may bring light to many questions concerning MySQL scalability in general and RDS scalability in particular. (For disclosure, I'm working for ScaleBase where we run an internal scale out TPC-C benchmark these days, and will publish results soon).
TPC-C
TPC-C is a standard database benchmark, used to measure databases. The database vendors invest big bucks in running this test, and showing off which database is faster, and can scale better.
It is a write intensive test, so it doesn’t necessarily reflect the behavior of the database in your application. But it does give some very important insights on what you can expect from your database under heavy load.
