AWS Databases!

I'm exploring AWS Databases!

I'm building database solutions on AWS
In this AWS Databases series, I'm learning about AWS databases (Relational and NoSQL databases). By the end of these projects, I will have known how to Connect an Aurora Database to EC2, connect a Web App to Amazon Aurora, Load Data into a DynamoDB Table, Visualize a Relational Database, and Query Data with DynamoDB. I'm learning about cloud databases because I want to know how it works and then use it create impactful solutions.

I am excited to share my progress - explore AWS databases with me!
I will set aside few hours daily to work on these database projects. I will keep myself accountable by tracking my daily progress and sharing updates to stay consistent. My reward for completing this AWS Databases series will be more ability to manage cloud databases effectively and confidently in real projects, and the satisfaction of mastering practical cloud database skills.

What are databases?
Databases are organized systems for storing and managing information digitally. They allow data such as customer records, product details, and transactions to be kept in one central place, making it easy to access, update, and share securely across teams. Cloud engineers use databases to store, organize, and manage application data securely in the cloud. They rely on databases to connect applications to data, run queries for insights, ensure scalability, and maintain high availability across different services.

What do database professionals do?
Database professionals are responsible for setting up databases, modelling data, writing queries, and ensuring database security. They also handle performance tuning, backups, and connecting databases to applications. The most interesting part of their job is using queries to turn raw data into meaningful insights that support decision‑making.
