Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)

We at Publicis Sapient has been delivering software solutions to many of our clients regularly. There is often the need to persistent data storage and we recommend to use Amazon RDS because it is easy to set up, the dev team don't have to dig deep in understanding about how to connect the Amazon RDS to the backend or how to invoke a request. The Amazon RDS has low learning curve which means the new dev team can work on it from day 1 without good deeper in terms of learning.
  • We used to store persistent data of clients
  • Sales and user data is stored and the manipulation is done at the backend side using CRUD operations.
  • The improvement in terms of blockchain native could be introduced
  • The Amazon RDS should have it's standalone client so that we don't need to download the specific software in our system when we want to use it from our desktop.
  • Low cost
  • High availability
  • Rapid development
  • Developer friendly
MongoDB is nosql database and some clients prefer it. In our presentation we try to persuade them to use RDS with its pros and cons. The type of selection depends upon the actual need.
