Recommendations to others considering the product

If you need someone to take over your DB management, RDS is the way to go

What do you dislike?

Limitations apply for sql server. I had to research carefully to make sure it would work

What do you like best?

Really nice to have backups taken care of for you! Make sure to ready the limitations for sql server.

What do you dislike?

Since it is running on an EC2 VM leaks through in the restrictions on database sizes, storage, memory etc.

A pro of this product which can be considered as a con is sometimes the robust security makes things complicated. In order to create a set of "structured" security group rules, our security groups especially RDS SGs are very complicated.

What do you like best?

Scalability capacity without any downtime is hands-down the best feature. Also, the server running the DB is different than your web server, so the hassle of upgrading AWS RDS affecting your web server doesn't exist.

Easy set-up and gives you the best DBaaS platform at a low cost.

It also gives you the ability to create replicas in an entirely different region, which is pretty cool for setting up a HA environment and traffic shaping.

It also gives you the choice to decide what type of DB you need.

Scalability capacity without any downtime is hands-down the best feature.

Supports a wide range of DB's - PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, etc.

What do you dislike?

Learning the AWS environment as a whole takes some time and finding things in their control panels can take some time. It does take a fair amount of reading the AWS docs and forums to find solutions to certain AWS specific issues. Depending on your configuration of your VPC and security group settings you may also find it hard to get your data out of RDS easily. One last thing I've found is that default settings for MySQL can cause application issues and making the tweaks can be a bit of trial and error. Once its up and running you are good to go though.

What do you like best?

We love being able to create new databases on the fly and more so making sure they are replicated to prevent data loss. Backing up and copying databases is simple and making configuration changes is pretty simple as well. Scalability has been another great key to our success with RDS. We've been able to seamlessly bump our instances size up as our traffic on our web application has grown.

Recommendations to others considering the product

If you are going on the AWS platform then I would recommend RDS over self-hosting MySQL or other database solutions on an EC2 instances. Way more flexible and isolated.

What do you dislike?

The cost for Microsoft SQL Server hosting is a bit high.

What do you like best?

I love the way Amazon RDS allows you to set up backup strategies and allow you to protect your data using VPC.

Recommendations to others considering the product

Be careful regarding the cost.

What do you dislike?

It is rather costly so not a good tool to implement for a small business.

What do you like best?

The product is simple and intuitive to use. It doesn't have the learning curve that traditional relational database services have that require a lot of configuring. It makes hosting a relational database very easy due to the tools already built in, like automated backups. I also like the security options that it includes.

Recommendations to others considering the product

It is good for a company that can afford it but the price to performance ratio is rather high.

What do you dislike?

It just works! The pricing aspect which increases as you scale up. Migration may be another aspect which one may need to look into while considering this.

What do you like best?

The best part is simple to setup and run. You can scale up as and when traffic on your website increases by adding another replica. The awesome feature i like is Automatic Backups of database at regular intervals so you can have a copy of database when needed. You also get cloudwatch monitoring in place which gives you database performance. We also have Cloudwatch alarms so that we get notified in case we are running high on CPU, data storage etc. Support during the transition from AWS team was great.

What do you dislike?

The credential information changes (host, password, username, etc) each time you need to bind you service to this database which can become frustrating. The user interface limits the amount of records you can view making you think not all records were published. Database is relatively expensive.

What do you like best?

SQL database. Easy to get started up. Simple user interface. Reliable.
