We performed a comparison between Amazon RDS and SingleStore based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Database as a Service solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to use, flexible, and powerful."
"Amazon RDS handles database backup mechanisms and patch management."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon RDS is its performance."
"The initial setup is straightforward, and technical support is good."
"Amazon RDS is easy to maintain and easy to deploy."
"I use Amazon RDS to store and manage data securely. It helps me retrieve information and gain insights from the data that comes in for my business or specific applications."
"The solution is scalable and can be configured with AWS Secrets Manager."
"Amazon RDS gives us the ability to select as many tools, replicas, regions, and zones as we want."
"The product's initial setup phase was pretty straightforward, with no complex processes."
"The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."
"It's a distributed relational database, so it does not have a single server, it has multiple servers. Its architecture itself is fast because it has multiple nodes to distribute the workload and process large amounts of data."
"The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms."
"MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."
"The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."
"Amazon RDS could improve by having more sophisticated. I use other solutions that have better technology for more difficult tasks."
"I also don't think it's very scalable."
"The support team of Amazon RDS provides us with some links to go through whenever we face some issues, but it doesn't work for us."
"The solution's version upgrade and performance could be improved."
"Currently, we are using Fargate. Instead of that, we are planning to use EC2 instances, but we are facing some problems, and we are unable to enable NAT gateway for Elastic Load Balancer. When we enable auto-scaling, the instance count increases, and we get IP addresses dynamically. We need to whitelist the IPs of these instances, but there is no option to whitelist those IPs in Amazon RDS. We need one static IP that we can assign to ELB so that we can whitelist this IP."
"In the next release, it would be great to see RDS provide connection pooling out of the box."
"One of the challenges of AWS RDS is that it doesn't support performance insight. So we need to write our own script or use third-party tools."
"Amazon RDS should have a more user-friendly graphical user interface and include better database management options."
"The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings."
"For new customers, it's very tough to start. Their documentation isn't organized, and there's no online training available. SingleStore is working on it, but that's a major drawback."
"Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally."
"There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great."
"We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."
"Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial."
"It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks."
