How to Choose a Database on AWS
This video walks you through a flowchart designed to help you choose an AWS database based on your organization's use cases. Give it a watch and follow along for helpful explanations of various use cases and scenarios.
Choosing Between SQL and NoSQL
When choosing between SQL and NoSQL databases on AWS, consider the nature of your data and application requirements. SQL databases, such as AWS RDS, are suitable for structured data and complex queries, while NoSQL options like DynamoDB are better for unstructured data and scalability.
AWS offers a variety of database solutions including AWS RDS for relational databases, DynamoDB for NoSQL, DocumentDB for document storage, and ElastiCache for caching. Each option serves different use cases, so it's important to assess your specific needs.
