Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)
We use RDS mainly for running managed database instances. We use MySql and PostgresSql mostly, with multi-az, monitoring, and replication features enabled. As for the scope and business problems, I don't think this is a product that solves any business problems directly; instead, it is used to support systems that actually solve them. Ans si does not have a specific scope except for providing persistence to backend systems.
- Monitoring
- Replication
- Availability
- Setup and Managing.
- More Granular performance metric tracking is feasible.
- Ability to restore backups across regions.
- I don't have much idea on ROI for RDS as a product, but majorly we outsource Management of production DB instances since we don't have the right set of people to do so.
