Overview
What is Amazon RDS?
Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) is a fully managed cloud database service that eliminates the complexity of traditional database administration. RDS handles provisioning, patching, backup, recovery and failure detection automatically.
Supporting Aurora, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle and SQL Server — you get the flexibility to choose the right engine without the operational overhead.
The case for RDS
Why Amazon RDS?
Eliminate administrative burden
RDS automates patching, backups and scaling — freeing your team to focus on innovation rather than database management.
Enterprise-grade reliability
Multi-AZ deployments, automated failover and built-in encryption provide the resilience enterprise workloads demand.
Cost optimisation at scale
Pay only for what you use with flexible instance types, Reserved Instances and auto-scaling aligned to actual demand.
Multiple database engine options
Support for Aurora, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle and SQL Server means you are never locked into a single vendor.
Future-ready scalable architecture
Scale compute and storage independently with zero downtime, ensuring databases grow alongside your business.
