Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)

We had used the MySQL and postgres version of RDS.
It's a really good version of the database and AWS manage the updates for you also the Master Slave is a plus to have it managed by AWS
  • Low maintenance
  • Automatic backups
  • Updates
  • No all the parameters can be managed
  • The cost is bigger that have your own but you can save in support
The database are the same. just the managed part is easy as is performed by Amazons
