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.
