Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)

We are using it for storing our mysql and postgress database. We are alreardy using the AWS EC2 as compute engine so it makes easy to access it within the internal access and for better security purposes. So any external person cannot access it and our database remains safe. We are owning multiple RDS Engines for different product services.
  • Internal fast and smooth data transmission
  • Disabling the external access improves safety
  • All versions of different db engines are pre-installed available
  • Pricing it a bit too high
  • Not so much user friendly in backup-restores
  • No access to root infra
  • AWS infra is good so takes less time in setup
  • Less Devops manpower is required in maintenance
  • For POC or small applications not preferable to use
Earlier we were using the Azure Ecosystem but we faced some issues in DevOps side so we decided to migrate towards some other reliable infra so we migrated all our engines, RDS and other services to Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) and from that time we are using this. Azure is bit more expensive side than Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) but support is good.

Do you think Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)'s feature set?

Yes

Did Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) again?

Yes

For long term application and AWS Ecosystem it is good to use. If you are planning to use only the RDS and Engine service from other provider then it is not that much worthful. Encryption, auto-backups and some other services of Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) are very good but this comes with add-on pricing.
