Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)
We are using it to create database instances for dev and using Aurora for making our effort of managing database, backup with zero effect. It helps us to scale our application in all regions.
- Scaling.
- Give options to create backup.
- Easy setup.
- Different way to login securely from username/password to IAM.
- Making AWS Aurora accessible from localhost.
- Require less efforts for setup.
- Easy to scale when user increase.
- Backup make us to scale in multiple region if we are using instance type database.
RDS support more relational database engines. RDS gives us option to choose type of machine in which database will be hosted which Google Cloud SQL not. Security-wise RDS enforce by default to set password which Google Cloud SQL doesn't. Also we can attack security group to RDS which can help us to use RDS privately but Google Cloud SQL restrict at IP level which is very bad.
