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.

"RDS - Easy to setup and run"

5/5

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

The best part is simple to setup and run. You can scale up as and when traffic on your website increases by adding another replica. The awesome feature i like is Automatic Backups of database at regular intervals so you can have a copy of database when needed. You also get cloudwatch monitoring in place which gives you database performance. We also have Cloudwatch alarms so that we get notified in case we are running high on CPU, data storage etc. Support during the transition from AWS team was great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It just works! The pricing aspect which increases as you scale up. Migration may be another aspect which one may need to look into while considering this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Used Amazon RDS for my final project as part of Cloud Computing course"

4/5

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

Scalable capacity without any downtime is one of the best features of the server. Also, the server running the DB is different than your web server, so the hassle of upgrading AWS RDS affecting your web server doesn't exist.

It gives you the choice to decide what type of DB you need Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The initial implementation involved a lot of steps and switching between different services to setup RDS service was very confusing.

The instance creation also took considerably longer when compared to other services. But that might be because I chose a free API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
