AWS RDS is not a choice its a necessary!
There were plenty of custom web application running on our customer environment in local DB setup. It required lot of admin efforts and it caused development inefficiency. I researched and proposed the AWS RDS as out customer was having AWS platform already. With AWS RDS we cut down the efforts in managing the softwares and admin tasks. We are able to scale up as per demand for some high usage applications without any heckle.
We use Amazon Aurora as one of the databases used for hosting a product in our Edtech SaaS Platform GIDE.AI.

AWS RDS a good use case
We started using RDS as an alternative to our BE system since, at the beginning, the team did not have experience or knowledge about BE frameworks, but it was necessary to maintain a relationship between the data of the projects being executed and the RDS services of Amazon were of great help, since it is an out of the box solution. As well as it also served as a starting point to understand how our BE system should be structured later.
Our company needed a reliable and fast solution for storing our customer data and Amazon Relational Database Service was a good choice because of all the set of features it offers. On top of the relational storage, our company could comply with market standards by easily having replication, backup, patching and user management easily implemented natively in the solution. What is also great about Amazon Relational Database Service is that you can manage everything using terraform, making it easy to reproduce the configurations in multiple environments.

A Database that you can really trust if you have the pockets
In healthcare, managing patient records and sensitive data securely is crucial. RDS offers encrypted storage, ensuring data security and compliance with regulations like HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). This encryption extends to data in transit and at rest. With RDS, you can set up multi-AZ (Availability Zone) deployments for high availability. This is vital in healthcare, where database downtime can directly impact patient care. In case of disasters, RDS facilitates quick recovery, minimizing data loss.

Amazon RDS is the best cloud-native database service.
We use RDS to manage all of our SQL databases for multiple billing and payment applications. This includes Aurora and PostgreSQL databases with millions of records and several terabytes of data. These databases are accessed in real time by web applications that handle the requests from thousands of users. RDS handles backups, security, and compliance by default.

Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) performance
I used Amazon Relational Database Service for Databricks Technical Field Telemetry(TFT) Project, which is an internal project for field engineering teams where they manage customer engagement, interactions, feedbacks. This majorly helped to improve our product by managing each team, each individual performances, thus they can set targets for improvement plans. It also displays a hit score which is the benchmark for internal teams. We used Amazon Relational Database Service serverless to deploy the backend database, which is lightening fast, reliable DBMS.

Amazon RDS review
RDS simplifies database management tasks like provisioning, patching, backup, recovery etc. This reduces the administrative burden and allows teams to focus on application development rather than database maintenance. Since this is a managed service it provides in built high availability and scalability. Also we can secure our data by encrypting them at both transit and rest. One more useful use case is, we can selectively encrypt sensitive data to give extra protection

We utilize Amazon Relational Database Service to host MySQL RDBS to store the data related to custom apps for our dev environment. It's super easy & fast to set up the database instances in a few clicks from the AWS management console. A lot of times, the developers in our team aren't that expert when it comes to managing the database administration, & hence for this very reason, Amazon Relational Database Service is our preferred DB service as it simplifies time-consuming admin tasks.

Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) provides the best service among its competitors!
RDS performs frequent backups of your database, and you may configure retention rules to control how long backups are kept. RDS makes it simple to extend our database instance vertically by switching instance types or horizontally by adding read replicas. AWS takes care of the underlying infrastructure, including hardware provisioning, database setup, patching, and backups of our business.

Amazon RDS- solution for fast paced development
We at Publicis Sapient has been delivering software solutions to many of our clients regularly. There is often the need to persistent data storage and we recommend to use Amazon RDS because it is easy to set up, the dev team don't have to dig deep in understanding about how to connect the Amazon RDS to the backend or how to invoke a request. The Amazon RDS has low learning curve which means the new dev team can work on it from day 1 without good deeper in terms of learning.

My first impressions with aws
We use RDS as part of the infrastructure as a service that supports our application. In the beginning, we struggled a bit with fine-tuning and monitoring but once we incorporated the tools everything worked very well. I consider that the scalability and backup tools are adequate for our requirements.
While availability and provisioning speed are similar to other IaaS, they are still important.
While availability and provisioning speed are similar to other IaaS, they are still important.
I utilize Amazon RDS as the backbone for content management and stored user information for our corporate web presence. I was looking for a scalable relational database that would be an easy transition with my background in MySQL. I didn't want to spend a lot of time setting up and managing replication and backup, and I didn't want daily maintenance tasks. RDS fit the bill nicely, and coupled with my EC2-based web hosting, provides a easy-to-implement security.

A good tool, but not for the inexperienced or faint of heart.
We use RDS as a database service provider for multiple eCommerce and small business websites to deliver configuration and content data to several mainstream service softwares. We use this as a rate-based, scalable alternative to cPaneled phpMyAdmin setups. More control means throughput and service level can be increased instead of being subject to server limitations.
