Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)
We utilize Amazon Relational Database Service to host MySQL RDBS to store the data related to custom apps for our dev environment. It's super easy & fast to set up the database instances in a few clicks from the AWS management console. A lot of times, the developers in our team aren't that expert when it comes to managing the database administration, & hence for this very reason, Amazon Relational Database Service is our preferred DB service as it simplifies time-consuming admin tasks.
- Monitoring of metrics performance via AWS CloudWatch.
- Read replicas to maintain data integrity & High availability.
- Minimal need of maintaining the Database.
- Serverless DB.
- Somewhat costly.
- Migrating from RDS to other DB service is complex.
- Horizontal scaling can be improved.
- Our application's data is much more secure & resilient.
- Increased overall productivity of staff due to very little time needed for DB maintenance.
- Data Redundancy across different AZs increased data integrity.
