Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)
We use RDS as part of the infrastructure as a service that supports our application. In the beginning, we struggled a bit with fine-tuning and monitoring but once we incorporated the tools everything worked very well. I consider that the scalability and backup tools are adequate for our requirements.
While availability and provisioning speed are similar to other IaaS, they are still important.

- high availability, we have had no downtime in the 3 years we have been using it.
- versatility... several database engines available
- management... RDS take care of everything related with the DB but the application
- the cost modeling is a bit complex for my taste... I had a hard time predicting it.
- Well, nowadays it is essential to have a reliable tool... especially when it comes to databases.
- It is very important that the infrastructure is prepared to grow and for that, a service of these characteristics is essential because it allows instant growth.
Although the Rackspace service is not comparable, even though it is very good, it requires a lot of administration on my part.
Regarding Atlas, although it is not the same as RDS in terms of provisioning and administration panel, I mention it because I found it simpler and more accessible than RDS.
