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.

"Great Security and scaling, some problems with certain postgresql databases."

3.5/5

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

With proper auto-scaling and load balancing, you do not have to worry about performance. Also, with proper subnet and IAM settings, the Database security also becomes great. Easy to deploy, easy to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Postgresql 14+ is not supported very well, It throws some error while connecting to this database. And the community asks to downgrade to 13. RDS should give proper support for each new version of the database. Also, if possible downgrading to lower major versions should be easily doable or should have some documentation.

Little more transperency on pricing model would be nice. Sometimes we get surprices with the chargeback for amount higher than we planned for. This can be improved by providing more accurate forecasts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing that I feel can be improved in RDS is preventing or reducing downtime when scaling operations and patching something. Also, there is no automatic performance tuning happening which can improve RDS even more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
