Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)

We use it to store information for internal applications and public-facing information that will be dynamically pulled to render pages.
  • Managed DB.
  • Centralization
  • Private Endpoint.
  • Cost
  • Compatibility
  • Cost Scalability.
  • Easier maintenance.
  • One Ecosystem.
  • Easier way to manage data.
Atlas is easier to use, but we selected RDS because of its ability to use Postgres and MySQL as opposed to a document database. Amazon offers a document database service, but ultimately it made more sense architecturally to choose a standard database.

This is well suited if you would like to keep everything under one roof with AWS, but it also could be a problem if you do not have region redundancy in place. This does cause costs to increase dramatically, and as the DB scales, it can get costly very quickly with a lot of the nickel and dime charges AWS is famous for.
