Here’s a quick overview of the managed database services offered by Amazon:
RDS (Relational Database Service): Service allows selection of one of these relational database engines: Aurora (Amazon’s engine), MariaDB, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQL Server. RDS allows you to set up read-only replicas, as well as multi-AZ (Availability Zone) deployments.
Aurora is Amazon’s proprietary database engine. You select either MySQL or PostgreSQL compatibility. Aurora also has a serverless version, as well as Global Database for cross-region read-only replicas.
DocumentDB: JSON document database with MongoDB compatibility.
DynamoDB: Key-Value store.
ElastiCache: Caching with Redis and Memcached compatibility.
MemoryDB: Redis compatible with durable storage.
Keyspaces: Column family DB with Cassandra compatibility.
Neptune: Graph database that supports Gremlin and SPARQL query languages.
QLDB (Quantum Ledger DataBase): Ledger database – I’ve written on QLDB earlier.
Redshift: Data warehouse service
Timestream: Time Series database.
