If you are technical and know little bit more regarding database and it's management. I would suggest don't go with it, just go with traditional database. As because it's gonna be very expensive while scaling your project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The automatic management of backups, patches, and updates greatly reduces the operational load.

Scalability is immediate: you can move from small workloads to enterprise databases without interruptions.

Perfect integration with the AWS ecosystem (CloudWatch, IAM, Elastic Beanstalk). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The initial learning curve can be steep for those unfamiliar with AWS.

Costs can quickly escalate if resource usage is not well monitored.

Some advanced features (e.g., fine-tuning performance) still require manual intervention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that RDS makes database management simple by handling backups, updates, and scaling automatically. It saves a lot of time and effort compared to managing databases on our own.The best part is how it reduces the manual work for maintenance and lets us focus more on development instead of infrastructure.

Sometimes the cost can add up quickly, especially for larger workloads, so budgeting needs extra attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about AWS Databases is the ease of usage and implementation. It is very easy to create a new database in seconds. It has a lot of database options such as Postgres, MySQL, Aurora, etc.

I personally like Aurora the best, with its serverless capabilities standing out from all other cloud providers.

I have been using Amazon Databases every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is slightly not up to the mark for the Databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is perfect for production loads where uptime and stability are crucial. It makes the DB management super easy because you dont have to worry about backups or scaling manually. Also, it is very smooth to integrate with other AWS services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing can get a bit steep once you enable Multi AZ. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The kind of database related services that AWS provides are nothing short of a miracle and the same goes for RDS whether. The best thing that you dont need to worry about the existing infrastructure and initially you don't have to worry about high costs of hardware procurement, RDS provides you with the pay as you go feature which has made the process of scaling much easier and user friendly. What amazed me was its compatibility with different db instances which made the process of its integration with my existing setup almost completely seamless. Amazon Aurora and RDS combined are I guess the best db management services out there and you have to worry about the backup as well as you get to decide the time period for which you want to keep the backup and incase of data loss when to recover it.

Firstly, a caution to new users, initially navigating through the RDS interface can be a litlle tricky but once you get used to it, hopefully it won't be a problem to most. The only thing that I think needs improvement is the customer support and I am not talking about the advanced plan, it has outrightly good support, I am talking about the basic plan because at starting sometimes I felt that the I had more technical assistance from amazon it could have saved me some time.

Amazon manages the databases for you. There are many choices, from mySQL, to MariaDB, Postgres, and Amazon's own Aurora. There are built-in automated restarts and failovers, monitoring dashboards, logs and events, and upgrades. It saves a lot of devops management related to hosting databases. Launching databases is easy for dev and production purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In recent years, they have improved in this regard with certain instance types. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
