Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) Overview

What is Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. It provides cost-efficient and resizable capacity while managing time-consuming database administration tasks such as hardware provisioning, database setup, patching and backups. It frees you up to focus on your apps so you can give them the better performance, availability, security, and compatibility they need. Amazon RDS is available on 6 familiar database instances: Amazon Aurora, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Oracle Database and SQL Server engines. This means that the code, applications, and tools you already use today with your existing databases can be used with Amazon RDS. Amazon RDS automatically patches the database software and backs up your database, storing the backups for a user-defined retention period and enabling point-in-time recovery. You benefit from the flexibility of being able to scale the compute resources or storage capacity associated with your relational database instance via a single API call. In addition, Amazon RDS makes it easy to use replication to enhance availability and reliability for production databases. Amazon RDS for MySQL also enables you to scale out beyond the capacity of a single database deployment for read-heavy database workloads. As with all Amazon Web Services, there are no up-front investments required, and you pay only for the resources you use.

0/5

What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

They offere verything at overpriced cost we did Elastic Serach hosting 10K a month moved away from aws cost is 800 a month at better perfomance, someone got access to a key at somepoint we rotated but the account kept getting comprosied and missused we raised 30 tickets to AWS no one care and end up us leaving as a billg over 60K came due to this, where as we didn't consume any of the 60K and again aws didn't care at all...

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

If you like to pay 10X more for nothing, get no support or pay for a support that goes in circle go for AWS.... we moved to GCP instead which is 10X better... AWS wonder why people uses it? Burning VC money maybe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazon RDS for ODS creation"

4/5

What do you like best about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

Database and infra management is handled on it's own. Horizontal scaling helps improve read capability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

There is no such downsight as it helps you deploy SQL databases with ease. Custom Configuration is something which can be added but the effieciency can be tampered so it's better. Scaling can sometimes increase cost but you can have proper monitoring for that as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) solving and how is that benefiting you?

We wanted to created a ODS system for reporting and ThoughtSpot data visualisation purpose for the client. RDS helps us providing the OLTP mechanism by selecting proper SQL database and infra support which user need not to worry about much. Scaling option also allows to increase read replica in scenrios when we do month-end reporting in case of BFSI domain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) solving and how is that benefiting you?

Amazon RDS helps streamline my database management, improve scalability and reliability, enhance security, and optimize costs, ultimately benefiting my organisation by enabling them to focus on innovation and business growth rather than infrastructure management overhead.
