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

I was struggling to manage my DB , and thats where RDS cane in, the setup was done very quickly and to add to it the interface was very user friendly and easy to understand. The best part about RDS was I could scale up and down whenever needed.

I found RDS to be very secure and reliable , which made me stop worrying about the data loss and downtimes I faced before using RDS.

Despite aws being a big thing their customer support is still on point , they respond within SLA and helped me resolve my issues.

I also tried integrating it with my EC2 instance which was done in a flash due to its user friendly console. Another good part being it also supports high , meduim and low frequency usages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The thing I value most about Amazon RDS is how easy it is to handle database jobs. We are able to concentrate more on application development and less on database management because of the automated backups, simplicity and scalability options. High availability and performance are also provided.Which is essential for startup applications. Its is very simple to integrate it with other aws services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

High Cost is one issue with Amazon RDS, particularly as the database increases. Although the service has many great features, the cost can add up rapidly, especially if you need a lot of storage and have high availability settings. Also, some users who require more customization may find the restricted control over some parameters, in comparison to self-managed databases, to be restricting. The maintenance windows are another small annoyance although required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The great thing about RDS is the shift in how we operate.

Instead of having to buy a new server, install an operating system, and a bunch of other tasks, then download the backup data, then restore, and finally start replicating, now with just a few operations my RDS cluster can scale 1 or more nodes.

Not only that, tasks like updating mysql version using Blue/Green approach can now be completely delegated to application team members without having to depend on devops team, which I find really useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
