What do you dislike?

There is very little I do not like, but I have had some small issues with compatibility with monitoring tools. These were relatively easy to resolve but could be an issue for those without experienced team supporting them (I am very lucky in having that).

Cost calculations are difficult in anything AWS related. You are charged in lots of small ways. Tiny amounts but they add up quickly.

Very little is available to help you to optimise, so you need to remember you are paying for the hardware, and what you do with it is up to you.

Migration is relatively slow. That is actually the one item I have not been overly happy with. Only had to migrate a production DB once so far, and was quite surprised at AWS not having a faster solution that what we came up with ourselves. It is a common enough issue which they could surely address. That being said - as AWS seem to release a new product/service every day they may already have that solved.

Amazon RDS is very flexible - you can change the capacity without a reboot or downtime. Excellent monitoring tools available, integrations are generally well handled (datadog, logentries, newrelic, etc.). Resilience is great, and even without monitoring tools the AWS console monitoring often provides enough information to diagnose issues or potential issues. Cost is good, for what you get. Ease of install is also good, and the range of engines is wide enough to fit almost anyone's needs.

In terms of security and recovery I have found it is very powerful but you do need to know what you are doing to configure everything correctly, and I would recommend anyone who uses AWS RDS instances to be sure they have a failure plan and run it in test to be sure there isn't any issues with the plan when run in production.

Don't do it without a systems expert and a good DBA. AWS offer you the platform, but you still need to 'build' your own systems. They are very bug, but they don't have everything right - you need to know enough to fill the gaps.

Calculations of costs are hard so consider hiring an AWS expert to work that out for you when comparing against your current solution.

What do you dislike?

It is hard to fine something I dislike about RDS as it just works.

A couple of points Vs hosting your own DB is that you can loose some turning and customization (though AWS RDS allows you to push your own config) and of course price, the pricing can get a little steep as you add more power to your setup, though is is typical of most AWS products.

Amazon RDS makes database deployment a breeze by giving you turnkey enterprise quality relational databases in the cloud. Pretty much all you need to do is feed it data. AWS take care of point in time snapshots and minor version updates automatically and by default. You are also able to create read replicas not only in a different zone but in an entirely different region!

AWS also give you the chance to use AWS Aurora as the DB engine which claims it can offer up to 10 times speed of MySQL Enterprise.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Make sure you can budget enough for growth as the price increase is rather sharp as the requirements of the db grow.

What do you dislike?

Some notion of unusual behavior out of the box would be nice. We had an old instance that was slowly creeping up in number of active connections and eventually got to its limit and became unresponsive due to an error in our error handling. That seems obviously bad, and we set up an alarm for it, but I feel sort of like we shouldn't have had to.

Setup and upgrade paths are both pretty straightforward. Even with spatial extensions, upgrading postgres versions is fairly simple, and the parameter group concept makes admin easy to think about as well.

Recommendations to others considering the product

You should probably consider whether some of the more specialized DB offerings are more appropriate first, since AWS offers several.

What do you dislike?

Amazone RDS is enough with almost of your requirements. But in some case, as my company, they want to backup the database in Amazone RDS into my company private storage. So, Amazone RDS Auto backup doesn't help anything for us in this case.

What do you like best?

The best think I like in Amazone RDS is it easy to scale the capacity without a reboot or downtime. So, it makes easy to power up your server when the number of concurrency user of your website increased. Moreover, the server running Amazone RDS is separate with your web server, so you don't worry about if the upgrade AWS RDS is affected to your web server.

Automatic backup, this is another excellent feature of Amazone RDS. It easy to setup & very useful for any web service.

Amazone RDS also integrate with Amazone CloudWatch, which help you to monitor your database, performance, throughput, etc.

Finally, the price of AWS is small with their features. If you are in free tiger, you total don't lose anything if you were using T2.micro instance

Recommendations to others considering the product

Amazone RDS is a good choice if you want to build a flexible web service, in the cloud.

What do you dislike?

Prices! Can work out expensive so watch your setting while set up.

What do you like best?

Easy to use. The documentation available on AWS makes everything pretty easy to use and implement.

What do you dislike?

The management GUI is clunky. That's all.

What do you like best?

Simple, available, copyable, daily backups. Affordable.

its worth the time it takes to learn it.

What do you dislike?

Had serious issue with ODBC and AWS tech support didn't find or fix it - had to dig deep into JVM threading model to get the problem to go away. Was not their problem nonetheless it manifest only on their platform and it would have been nice if the business class of tech support had actually been able to help solve this instead of constantly pointing in the wrong direction.

What do you like best?

Simple replication of entire service and data for testing and development cycles. Data Replication (secondary servers -- read only replicant) are simple to set up and take down compared to doing this with home grown solutions.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Make sure you TEST, TEST and TEST some more before committing to the product to ensure you have it working in a production grade capacity. Once there however you're pretty much golden. If you need tech support expect to be on your own as even the paid levels of support do not seem to have a depth of knowledge for serious technical issues.

What do you dislike?

- powerful instances are little bit expensive.

- good to have autoscaling.

What do you like best?

- I like the simplicity of the product. RDBMS can be brought up and purged on-demand. Traditional DBMS have a great deal of maintenance including configuring, networking and storage management.

- Integrates well with other AWS products like EC2 and S3.

- Great security with options like VPC and security groups.

- Inbuilt alerting around db critical functionalities.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Great choice for hosting RDS in a cloud. Almost zero configuration.

What do you dislike?

Properly securing this through a VPC requires configuring a VPN connection. While there are ways to minimize the impact of this

My primary use is with the MySQL version and it works incredibly well and make DR/HA dead simple with the simplicity of setting up read
