Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)

We use Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) as our main database to store daily data from our application. We need to store different kind of data generated from our application and we need to ensure it is always available and with multiple layers of security/redundancy to avoid downtime and to comply with compliance standards.
  • SQL data
  • Backup
  • Management
  • Monitoring
  • Audit
  • User management
  • Improved risk mitigation
  • Lower management cost
It is more suitable for our data structure and also has a lower management and implementation cost since we don`t have to do everything from scratch. It also offers great integration with other AWS services which makes it really good to work with.

If you need a SQL database Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) provides multiple options for all flavors. It also delivers easy management and pretty decent speeds. If you have non relational data then it is better to avoid it instead of making workarounds to make it work. Today some of the RDS options do offer more modern data structure and might fit.
