Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)

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.

Amazon Relational Database Service solves part of our architecture problem - more inclined towards on-line transactions and simple user data storage - whereas MongoDB is good for storing structured complex data. For most of the requirements we use Amazon Relational Database Service for, it is because it is simpler and more straightforward to use, reducing the time for the development team to learn, and it also gives a slow latency and good performance.

Amazon Relational Database Service is good for real-time transactions with quick immediate response in which the data is stored locally, so might not be the best choice for huge data warehouse or data lake. It also depends a lot on the data type you want to use for your applications, some data types might be better handled by other solutions. For quick out of the box solutions with no complex architecture Amazon Relational Database Service is a great choice.
