AWS RDS Solutions

Managed Database Service

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Relational Database Service (RDS) is a fully-managed database service that makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. With AWS RDS, you can run popular relational database engines such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, and MariaDB.

Fully managed: AWS RDS handles routine database tasks such as backups, software patching, and monitoring, allowing you to focus on your application development.

Scalable: AWS RDS makes it easy to scale your database up or down as your application needs change, without any downtime.

Secure: AWS RDS provides a high level of security with features such as encryption, network isolation, and regular security updates.

Multi-AZ deployments: AWS RDS offers Multi-Availability Zone (Multi-AZ) deployments, which provide enhanced availability and durability for your database.

Backups and recovery: AWS RDS provides automated backups and point-in-time recovery for your database, making it easy to recover from a disaster.

Organizations prioritize reliable and cost-effective databases that can ensure consistent data availability and withstand disasters while meeting Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) requirements. AWS RDS addresses a broad range of customer needs, however, the configuration is critical to optimize the service offering as AWS operates under a shared responsibility model. Moreover, database security is of utmost importance as any compromise can cause severe damage to the organization.

At 9acts, we specialize in setting up and maintaining AWS environments, including Amazon RDS. Our team follows industry best practices to optimize the environment based on each customer’s unique needs. We ensure that databases are always encrypted with AWS KMS CMK for data at rest, grant least privileges for IAM, enable logging and monitoring for databases, and offer granular access for database users. Additionally, we help customers improve database performance by adding reader instances (read-replicas), enhance reliability with Multi-AZ and Multi-Regional readers, secure data with database backups and network isolation, and provide solutions for automatic failover during region disaster situations with periodic dry runs. To ensure simplicity, security, and repeatability throughout the process, we provision our services with Infrastructure as Code. This approach ensures that our infrastructure is defined and managed in a code-like manner, which allows us to automate the provisioning process, track changes, and improve consistency while minimizing manual errors. With Infrastructure as Code, our team can efficiently manage and deploy changes to the AWS environment, enabling us to maintain a high level of quality and reliability for our customers.

Finally, we help organizations optimize their AWS RDS environment to achieve maximum cost savings by working with each customer to understand their unique business needs and implement a database infrastructure that provides the necessary performance, reliability, and security at an affordable cost.
