The downside includes the cost and memory span Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The sheer ease RDS comes with is amazing. Creating a new instance, creating a snapshot, restoring from a snapshot, creating alarms and monitoring is all very painless. The whole GUI is very intuitive and easy to understand, especially if you understand the basic components of EC2 and VPC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

There is no dashboard in the GUI which shows all the parameter groups alongside the instances that they are attached to. It is something that would be very beneficial when, for instance, you are modifying or deleting a parameter group. Another issue I have with RDS is the way it deals with failovers. The triggers that cause the failover to occur are very ambiguously listed in the documentation. Also, when a failover does occur, the monitoring system of RDS is very slow to detect unresponsiveness and can take upto 20 minutes before the failover does begin(which generally is over within a minute).

Aurora serverless - cost effectiveness (pay per sec ?)

And it supports both Mysql and Postgres Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Aurora's autoscaling configurations could have been modifiable by the user (CPU utilization percent 70%) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Big positive points is the flexibility to use either proprietary or open source db variants. I have production with MySQL currently but have also implemented Postgres databases with RDS and certainly was a breeze. The MySQL setups I use are both from a self managed ETL process and as a total replicate of another live service constantly sending new checkout/customer data into the system.

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

A bit cumbersome to deal with maintenance windows and updates unless you use Aurora which is fully managed and much faster. Not easy to switch from current set up to aurora. I cannot think of any other pain points that really stick out for simple implementation needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

RDS has a number of features which turn what would have been a time consuming project into a single button click. The one that won me over and made me a believer was setting up a read-replica of our production database. My experience in the past had always been that setting up replication was a pain, first there was the specing and provisioning of a new server, installing the software, matching the configurations, turning on replication, testing the latency, etc. Setting up a read replica on RDS (MySQL) was so simple it lead to immediate doubts: "That must not be working correctly, that was too easy". A few quick tests revealed that my read replica was indeed up and running. I'd guess the total time required was under 30 minutes. Amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Two areas come to mind:

1. The fact that a number of database level settings, which you would normally set via a SQL command, must be set via the RDS console. Not really a big deal once you realize this, but initially it can be confusing as the SQL command to change the setting will run successfully, but when you check it, it will be unchanged.

2. There are occasional reminders that this is a relatively new offering. I have encountered two incidences where replication failed/stopped for reasons which were unclear. The first was when a trigger was created on a table in the publisher. The second was when a user was deleted from the publisher. There was no documentation indicating either of these actions would be an issue, and it was a challenge to identify how to bring replication back online (FYI - turns out there is a command which can be run to bypass a replication error and replication will then come back online and catch up fairly quickly) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to scale the size, RAM, and CPU capacity of the database with just a click. It saves us a lot on hardware costs, and lets us prototype and test database-intense features on a pay-as-you-go basis which is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Limited replication options. Only slave databases are supported out of the box, a master-master configuration requires (at least at the time I tried to do it) custom configuration. However, Amazon does provide some config snippets for you to use in cases like that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Amazon's RDS services provide compatible access to a wide variety of databases, without the hassle of managing the actual database software, which has always been a pain. In addition to this, they provide several options for scaling performance and high availability that are comparable to very complex, difficult, and expensive enterprise configurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Not much to dislike in these services - there are a few occasions where it makes sense to run the software yourself, but not many. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Combines both on premise and cloud hybrid that allow you keep seamless connection allow the HA( high availability) on the creation and you can have multiple instances and the migration from previous old version is moved for free on my services with remote on premise set up.

The escalability is able to be engaged with no extra charges since are virtual equipment can re-deployed and redeployed in matter of minutes.

The time that you save with the creation of more resources and more bulk equipment with the flexibility of the changes that be done on the platforms that can be created.

Zero engagement on the infrastructure of the equipment is sometimes the best so my team can work on the actual application rather than hardware and engagement on the appliances of the physical equipment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Lack of interaction on the users rights that does no allow the connection, not admin rights. Some of the services should be able to be engaged if we are getting a paid services you should get full services rights.

Sometimes the engagement lines are very thin and you do not if engage your retail or your vendor. Nice Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We setup RDS for a few applications that required a cloud-centric deployment, and within a few button clicks, we had a fully functional RDS database setup complete with replication, ability to scale horizontally, and compatbility with database frameworks such as PostgreSQL and MySQL....Replication made easy, without complicated scripts or manually setting up DIY replication....Since the underlying infrastructure is managed by AWS, system upgrades happen transparently to us, and allow us to focus on providing highly-perormant applications to end-users. Also, backups are automated and get shipped to S3, which allow for quick restoration of data in the event of some corruption....you are able to setup retention policies to ensure your data backups meets your guidelines.

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

I suppose the only downside to hosted solutions is recovery periods might be longer than on-prem recovery, but really there is not really a downside to the RDS offering.... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
