Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)

Our business has a need to use various different systems of record, data storage, and reporting. Some of which are extremely outdated. Amazon RDS has significantly helped us create a streamlined approach to how we track and pull data between these various systems. RDS makes it easy to combine all our data into a lake which can then be accessed at any time by approved users. This has allowed us to move away from archaic systems yet still retain the information that we require.
  • Running patching services.
  • Backing up old systems /databases.
  • Data lake storage for access and reporting.
  • First-time users can be a bit overwhelmed.
  • Incorporating a new database can be easier.
  • Created various efficiencies backing up servers.
  • Enabling point-in-time recovery in case of disasters.
  • Simplifies patching of database software.
This is the first time I have personally been involved with such a system and It has honestly made my job significantly more simple.
