"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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

"Game Changer"
Product Reviewed: Amazon Aurora
What do you like best about Amazon Aurora?

I've use this in few projects, and it's been a game-changer. The performance boost compared to standard MySQL and PostgreSQL is impressive, and I love how it automatically scales with demand. The automated backups and multi-AZ replication give me peace of mind about data reliability. Although it's a bit pricier, the ease of management and robust features make it well worth the investment. It's perfect for high-traffic applications where uptime and speed are crucial.

Ease of Use: Amazon Aurora is fully managed, meaning that AWS handles routine database tasks such as provisioning, patching, backup, recovery, and repair. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Aurora?

While I appreciate Amazon Aurora's performance and scalability, there are a few drawbacks. The cost can add up, especially for smaller projects or when resources aren't fully utilized. Additionally, being locked into the AWS ecosystem can be limiting if you're looking for a multi-cloud strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Database service in Cloud Services"
What do you like best about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)?

A fully managed database service by AWS. We don't have to worry about software, licensing, managing servers, etc. It is fully scalable, reliable, can be migrated from anywhere to anywhere, highly available and you can implement RDS in very simple steps. Most importantly it only costs what you use. So you can create a database anytime and you can delete it any time. You only pay that you use the RDS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The initial starting time of the RDS, up to 10 mins is kind of a dislike to me. And also some other features like if I want to upgrade my database major version it needs some downtime. Yeah, they have some additional features to do this in a minimal downtime but still, we did not achieve zero downtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

However, while RDS simplifies many aspects of database management, it can be more expensive than self-managed alternatives, particularly for complex or large-scale deployments. Additionally, while it supports a variety of database engines, there may be limitations in customization and configuration compared to fully self-managed databases. Despite these considerations, AWS RDS remains a compelling choice for businesses seeking a reliable, scalable, and low-maintenance database solution in the cloud.
