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.

"Fantastic Experience!"
What do you like best about AWS Cloud?

The essential features of AWS cloud are flexibility and fully-managed infrastructure feature.

AWS cloud gives the flexibility to choose the system configuration and availability. Also, It manages all the backed functionality of the server all by itself. We must choose the system according to our requirements, use whenever we like, and pay accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AWS Cloud?

There is nothing much to dislike about AWS Cloud since I have used this for a long time. The only thing which is a must to have when using AWS cloud is the internet. So If you don't have a good internet connection, you will experience slow service as everything is on the cloud, and you need good internet connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast and easy production level managed databases"
What do you like best about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

I love that it is so easy to set up. Additionally, it is straightforward to scale with both autoscalingv2 and autoscaling groups, and global capability with readers in up to 6 different places at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

There are a few limitations with RDS that are slightly annoying. The serverlessv1 does not scale very fast, as well as serverlessv2 sometimes costing more then anticipated due to some weird scaling behavior. You can use static servers in RDS though and with their reserved instance program it is quite economical for a managed service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
