It provides cost-efficient and resizable capacity while managing time-consuming database administration tasks such as hardware provisioning, database setup, patching and backups. It frees you up to focus on your apps so you can give them the better performance, availability, security, and compatibility they need. Amazon RDS is available on 6 familiar database instances: Amazon Aurora, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Oracle Database and SQL Server engines. This means that the code, applications, and tools you already use today with your existing databases can be used with Amazon RDS. Amazon RDS automatically patches the database software and backs up your database, storing the backups for a user-defined retention period and enabling point-in-time recovery. You benefit from the flexibility of being able to scale the compute resources or storage capacity associated with your relational database instance via a single API call. In addition, Amazon RDS makes it easy to use replication to enhance availability and reliability for production databases. Amazon RDS for MySQL also enables you to scale out beyond the capacity of a single database deployment for read-heavy database workloads. As with all Amazon Web Services, there are no up-front investments required, and you pay only for the resources you use. * * * Product Website Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) Seller [Amazon Web Services (AWS)](https://www.g2.com/sellers/amazon-web-services-aws-3e93cc28-2e9b-4961-b258-c6ce0feec7dd) Discussions [Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) Community](https://www.g2.com/products/amazon-relational-database-service-rds/discuss) Solution Type Best-of-Breed Overview by Elizabeth Solomon Show More ## Value at a Glance Averages based on real user reviews. ### Time to Implement 2 months ### Return on Investment 14 months [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/amazon-relational-database-service-rds/pricing) ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![Oracle Database](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Oracle Database") Oracle Database 4.3/5(1,020) ](https://www.g2.com/products/oracle-database/reviews) [ ![IBM Db2](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "IBM Db2") IBM Db2 4.1/5(683) ](https://www.g2.com/products/ibm-db2/reviews) [ ![SAP HANA Cloud](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "SAP HANA Cloud") SAP HANA Cloud 4.3/5(620) ](https://www.g2.com/products/sap-hana-cloud-2025-10-01/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/amazon-relational-database-service-rds/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 909 real user reviews.

Cloud Consultant Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/7/2024 "A very flexible, cost-saving, powerful and full of features database!" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)? 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS)? 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. What problems is Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) solving and how is that benefiting you? First and foremost, Amazon RDS helped to cut off a major burden of physical server costs and overhead of using them, and in utilizing a managed database which can automatically do provisioning, patching, backups, deletion and more. It helped out firm to really focus on the database and the scripts, rather than unnecessary stuffs. Secondly, we have our database used by global users, from USA, Korea, Australia, Europe and so. We are able to provide them a low -latency experience by deploying our database near to their location, thanks to Amazon RDS. For the safety and security of data, features like backups, point in time recovery, encryption at rest and in transit and network isolation are something which we love to have. These have greatly increased our confidence to use this service, and include it to build a reliable solution for our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
