Running your own database means managing the server, backups, patching, availability and recovery.
Amazon RDS handles many of those operational tasks for supported database engines.
You still design the database, manage access and protect the data. AWS simply removes some of the infrastructure headaches.
Managed does not mean “ignore it forever.”
It means your developers can spend less time babysitting servers and more time explaining why that query scans 14 million rows.
