Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)
I utilize Amazon RDS as the backbone for content management and stored user information for our corporate web presence. I was looking for a scalable relational database that would be an easy transition with my background in MySQL. I didn't want to spend a lot of time setting up and managing replication and backup, and I didn't want daily maintenance tasks. RDS fit the bill nicely, and coupled with my EC2-based web hosting, provides a easy-to-implement security.
