Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)

We are using RDS in storing all our products and their information.
We have hundreds of brass products and we have maintained all our product database with RDS.
It is quick and easy also we have assigned to roles to avoid access to unauthorized users.
We have different databases of products depending upon our audience and purpose.
  • RDS is fast
  • All versions of databases engines are already installed
  • Highly secure
  • Takes less time to setup
  • Logs needs to be more visually appealing and detailed in a proper way
  • Cost is high
  • Scaling is an issue, it is tiring and exhausting
  • RDS is costly and thus small business should avoid it as it might not be worthful (in ROI perspective)
  • Downtime is very low and there are automated backups thus we dont have to worry much about technical stuff and can focus more on marketing and sales
  • Due to various automated features such as automated backup etc we dont need a huge technical team thus reducing the cost of maintaining a huge technical team ,

I am storing structured data such as product description, SKU, price, dimensions, customers reviews etc due to which i need to have structured data therefore relational database is very appropriate for my use case.
It becomes very fast.
Moreover my setup is in Amazon EC2 thus Amazon RDS has integration for that aswell thus making it a perfect combo.
