Amazon RDS is a friendly user but its underlying infrastructure is not accessible in advanced configuration. But at the same time, the extensive feature set is a positive, but ties in with a negative — cost, especially for large workloads. RDS is a great answer for the large majority of your needs, however, it may be limited in its flexibility should you need to create something more complicated.

The first thing I like about AWS cloud is it's user friendly user interface and the documentation it offers for its users.

Being the largest cloud provider, it offers vast number of features that one can implement in their software development workflows.

The learning opportunities and contents that AWS offers is very much useful to cloud learners who begin with AWS as their first cloud platform.

Easy integration with multiple other platforms makes it easier for developers to work with in their software development process and day-to-day activities utilising AWS cloud.

Implementing a new workflow in AWS is much easier and simpler compared to the competitors.

The customer support AWS offers is really fantastic, including the basic support that it offers even with free of cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Given that AWS cloud has plenty of features, the cost of those features really comes at higher price compared to the other cloud providers such as Azure and GCP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

6)AWS provides good documentation on its services .

7)AWS cloud provided proper updates on its services and if any new services are included proper webinars are conducted and the process and serices are explained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Only the thing i dislike about AWS is naming of its services its not easier to find a service related to a particular search and naming its terms .

like example suppose S3 any new fresher wont be able to identify it as a storage service and the related term bucket it should have something named related to storage.

like other services like lightsail we wont know it is severless if you are a fresher. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) is truly a very flexible, powerful, scalable and full of features as AWS claims. I have using the service, including many others, in my organization since I joined, and it has served many production use -cases quite efficiently.

The best thing about Amazon RDS is it's combination of simplicity and power. Be the intuitive design on the console or the powerful CLI commands which were able to automate everything that I liked and wanted, this database is a great option for anyone looking either to migrate their on-premises databases, or choose a cloud database.

The ability AWS provides regarding scaling to up or down sizes on -demans is very good, which not only helps to meet the live customer API calls, but also helps us to manage and reduce our cost.

Even though we utilised the RDS for MySQL, MS SQL and PostGre SQL, the integration with other databases like MariaDB and more is quite appreciative, that enables us to work on projects for some customers using unconventional databases too.

I also loved the ease of connecting it to an EC2 instances whole creating the database itself, and how AWS manages many things automatically. Also, the option of managing the database credentials using Systems Manager for safety and security purpose, and ensuring nothing goes leaked is a very amazing feature as well.

I don't feel something too strong to dislike about Amazon RDS, but there are certain things where improvements can surely happen. One of them and what I feel, most important, is the proper integration of RDS databases to other identity providers like Microsoft Entra, Okta etc. If the credentials can totally be removed using this seamless integration, then it will truly complete even further use cases, and Excel on the security side better.

Also, Amazon RDS can fasten the application of patches/updates on our database as soon as they are released, so that we are always ahead in the update race as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I guess Postgres is the one which is way more helpful and trendy these days especially using libraries for distance and geo spatial data support with Relational database advantages of Joins and Aggregate functions it is really good without any headache of having to maintain the server.

I would say cost for few people who wants to have a POC kindof project it is very easy and goto service like DynamoDB but because of Cost RDS is kindof neglected because using EC2 if we host postgre rds it would be much cheaper Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about RDS is how easy it makes managing databases. It take care of all the boring stuffs like backups, patching, and scaling so we can focus on actually using the database. The performance is great to, and I love that I can choose from different database engines like MySQL or PostgreSQL. It's also nice that it integrates seamlessly with other AWS services, which makes my life alot easier when building apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While RDS is mostly great, it can get prety expensive if your not carefull. The pricing model is kinda complicated, and it's easy to rack up costs if you don't keep an eye on things. Also, some of the more advanced features are only available on certain instance types, which can be frustrating. Sometimes I wish there was more flexibility in terms of customizing the underlying OS or accessing the database files directly, but I guess thats the trade off for the managed service.

Best thing about Amazon RDS is its ability to automate time-consuming database management tasks like backups, scaling, and patching,and easy to use. The service offers high availability with Multi-AZ deployments, ensuring minimal downtime. Additionally, RDS supports multiple database engines, providing flexibility for different project needs, all while seamlessly integrating with other AWS services for monitoring and security.

Diwlike thing about Amazon RDS is that while it's highly automated, it can be less flexible for custom configurations compared to managing databases on your own. The pricing can also add up quickly, especially for large-scale deployments or when using Multi-AZ for high availability. Additionally, troubleshooting complex performance issues can be challenging without deeper access to the underlying infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was struggling to manage my DB , and thats where RDS cane in, the setup was done very quickly and to add to it the interface was very user friendly and easy to understand. The best part about RDS was I could scale up and down whenever needed.

I found RDS to be very secure and reliable , which made me stop worrying about the data loss and downtimes I faced before using RDS.

Despite aws being a big thing their customer support is still on point , they respond within SLA and helped me resolve my issues.

I also tried integrating it with my EC2 instance which was done in a flash due to its user friendly console. Another good part being it also supports high , meduim and low frequency usages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There arent many things to dislike since mine was a small Db but if i happen to host a large Db on rds it can get costly , and another point being i faced a bit of latecy while using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I find challenging with Amazon RDS is the limited control over low-level configurations compared to self-managed databases. Additionally, costs can escalate quickly, especially with high storage and I/O requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The various services that are available to integrate and build solution softwares. Like codecommit, codebuid, codepipeline to build cicd pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The New UI which was introduced recently has some bugs that needs to be fixed that includes automatic logout when opening VPC via RDS or Ec2 console page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
