When to Use Amazon RDS
Use Amazon RDS when your Do not use Amazon RDS when your
application requires: application requires:
• Complex transactions or • Massive read/write rates (for
complex queries example, 150,000 write/second)
• A medium to high query or write • Sharding due to high data size or
rate – Up to 30,000 IOPS (15,000 throughput demands
reads + 15,000 writes)
• Simple GET or PUT requests and
• No more than a single worker queries that a NoSQL database
node or shard can handle
• High durability • Relational database

Database case study activity 1
Case 1: A data protection and management company that provides services to enterprises. They must provide
database services for over 55 petabytes of data. They have two types of data that require a database solution.
First, they need a relational database store for configuration data. Second, they need a store for unstructured
metadata to support a de-duplication service. After the data is de-duplicated, it is stored in Amazon S3 for quick
retrieval, and eventually moved to Amazon S3 Glacier for long-term storage. The following diagram illustrates their
architecture.

Case 2: A commercial shipping company that uses an on-premises legacy data management system.
They must migrate to a serverless ecosystem while they continue to use their existing database
system, which is based on Oracle. They are also in the process of decomposing their highly structured
relational data into semistructured data. The following diagram illustrates their architecture.

Case 3: An online payment processing company that processes over1 million transactions per day.
They must provide services to ecommerce customers who offer flash sales (sales that offer greatly
reduced prices for a limited time), where demand can increase by 30 times in a short time period.
They use IAM and AWS KMS to authenticate transactions with financial institutions. They need high
throughput for these peak loads. The following diagram illustrates their architecture.
