Amazon Lightsail Primary Use Case

Vitor Gabriel Reis Lux Barboza - PeerSpot reviewer
IT Specialist Architecture at Nidec Global Appliance

The use case mainly was to deploy a database that there was no option for the platform as a service. It is a database based on a graph, the name is Neo4j. So in AWS, I didn't find the RDS of this database. So I had to create a virtual machine in Lightsail and deploy the Neo4j database on it. 

I did it for the test and production environment, and then it allowed me to create firewall rules and a lot of management networks, but they are pretty simplified. It's not like EC2 where you can have all of those virtual interfaces and virtual networks. It's more like an instance that is standalone. But at least for these small purposes, it attended very well.
