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.

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.

It's vast size of data storage and customer support. No chance of data lost and mismatch till now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's costing and pricing which is quite expensive 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.
