Definition

RDS, or Amazon Relational Database Service, is a managed database service provided by AWS that simplifies the setup, operation, and scaling of a relational database in the cloud. It supports multiple database engines, including Amazon Aurora, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server. RDS automates time-consuming administrative tasks such as hardware provisioning, database setup, patching, and backups, allowing developers to focus on application development.
