Keep in mind that having your database server in a separate location from your web servers is going to introduce some additional overhead in the latency for communication between the two. If every millisecond isn't critical, then it may not be a big deal. I imagine the latency between DO and AWS isn't even all that bad depending on what locations you've working with. Something worth considering though.

Red Mike brings up a good point about additional costs due to data transfer as well. If you kept it all within AWS, you wouldn't have that issue. Amazon just announced a new VPS product called Lightsail that is supposed to be more akin to Digital Ocean's offering (I haven't read too much about it myself) than EC2. It may be worth looking into that if you did want to move everything over, but keep a similar setup aside from database hosting.
