Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Relational Database Service

We use AWS RDS service for multiple applications as a backend for MySQL Databases. It helped us in updating MySQL versions, backups, and snapshots. We don't have to spend time managing and maintaining infrastructure, and we spent the most time on business. We can choose or readjust capacity based on demands and also automatic backups stored on S3 bucket.
  • Automatic updates.
  • We can scale the resources.
  • 99% availability.
  • It needs some basic aws console experience to set up RDS.
  • Great support.
  • Flexibility.
  • Restoring it from Snapshots.
We have the AWS Enterprise support plan, and the response time was great in less than 1 hour. The AWS engineering team understands the issue and solves.

We use AWS RDS service for multiple applications as a back-end for MySQL Databases. It is well suited for all companies, including small to enterprise. It does not suit if your application has only a static website or fewer backed services.
