🧊Why learn Amazon RDS?

Developers should use Amazon RDS when building applications that require a managed relational database with high availability, automated backups, and easy scalability, reducing operational overhead. It is ideal for web applications, e-commerce platforms, and enterprise systems where database administration resources are limited or need to be optimized for cost and efficiency. Specific use cases include deploying production databases with multi-AZ deployments for fault tolerance or using read replicas to handle high read traffic.
