What's the difference between amazon rds and amazon dynamodb?


Asked by Elijah Spencer on Nov 28, 2021 FAQ



Amazon DynamoDB can be classified as a tool in the "NoSQL Database as a Service" category, while Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL is grouped under "PostgreSQL as a Service". Some of the features offered by Amazon DynamoDB are:
Moreover,
Aurora is a database engine you can use with RDS. It is optimized MySQL or PostGres created by Amazon internally and has a reported performance gain of 5 times that of MySQL. It costs more. DynamoDB is another database technology from AWS but it is a NoSQL database rather than a relational database like Aurora.
Also, NoSQL databases originally refer to as “non-SQL” or “not only SQL” or “non-relational” databases. NoSQL is commonly used to handle big data – large volumes of unstructured or semi-structured data. Amazon DynamoDB is a fast, fully managed NoSQL database service that supports flexible data models such as both document and key-value data models.
Consequently,
Amazon RDS ordinarily provides six database engines Amazon Aurora, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and MySQL respectively. The users can continue to use their already existing tools. They can easily manage this without installing any kind of additional hardware or software.
Furthermore,
This NoSQL database service of AWS is being used for fast processing of small data that can dynamically grow and change. The tables of DynamoDB do not follow any structure as they can store the database values in key-value format or as the text itself. DynamoDb does not come with any hardware restriction for its capabilities.
