"Reliable and Scalable Solution for High-Performance Data Management"
What do you like best about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?
What I like best about Amazon RDS is its ease of use combined with powerful automation features. Setting up a database is incredibly straightforward, and the automated backups, updates, and scaling options take the hassle out of day-to-day management. RDS also excels in providing high availability with multi-AZ deployments and read replicas, making it perfect for production environments that require reliability and performance. Its integration with other AWS services is seamless, and the security features, such as encryption at rest and in transit, provide strong protection for sensitive data.

What do you dislike about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?
One drawback of Amazon RDS is the limited control over database configurations and server-level access. While the managed service approach reduces administrative overhead, it can be frustrating for advanced users who need more fine-tuned control over performance optimizations and specific configurations. Additionally, the cost can escalate quickly with larger instances, high storage needs, or multi-AZ setups, especially for businesses on a tight budget. There can also be limitations when troubleshooting performance issues since direct access to the underlying infrastructure is restricted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
