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.

"Fully managed Database service"

4/5

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

Used RDS to connect with Cloudaware via the RDS APIs and it worked well. The ease of scaling down or up the databases whenever needed based on the requirements and business use-cases is good. Would also add database engine compatibility where it offers multiple flavors of them like MySQL, Postgre, SQL Server etc for our business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Offers us less customization options as it is fully managed by the service provider. A bit challenging too in troubleshooting and debugging issues without access to the underlying infrastructure. Can become hard on pockets with the cost when the amount of workload increases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
