AWS Database Services
AWS Database Services is a comprehensive suite of managed database offerings provided by Amazon Web Services, designed to support various data models and workloads in the cloud. It includes relational databases like Amazon RDS and Aurora, NoSQL databases like DynamoDB and DocumentDB, in-memory databases like ElastiCache, and specialized services for data warehousing, graph databases, and ledger applications. These services handle administrative tasks such as provisioning, patching, backup, and scaling, allowing developers to focus on application development.
Developers should learn AWS Database Services when building or migrating applications to AWS, as they provide scalable, secure, and cost-effective database solutions without the overhead of self-managed infrastructure. Specific use cases include using Amazon RDS for traditional SQL-based applications, DynamoDB for high-performance NoSQL needs in serverless architectures, and Amazon Redshift for large-scale data analytics and business intelligence workloads.
