AWS's RDS service is aimed at facilitating the creation, update, and scalability of relational databases, such as: Aurora, Postgre, Oracle, MariaDB, SQL Server, and MySQL. Several advantages accompany the use of this service, such as:
Increased Availability
It is possible to create the database by enabling the Multi AZ option, where the database will be available in two different locations. If there is any unavailability, such as a natural disaster, in one data center, the other database automatically takes action.
On-Demand Pricing
Pay only for what you use. It is possible to turn instances off and on without data loss, in addition to being able to increase or decrease the size of instances according to your needs.
Increased Security
By using this service independently of the computing service, it is possible to place it in a VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) without internet access, making it more secure.
Performance Increase
By creating a Read Replica, it is possible to increase database performance by dividing read tasks among users and databases. Read Replica also helps with security because it is possible to grant access to users to only run queries without demanding resources from the main database.
