AWS RDS and Redshift databases and analytics

RDS provides managed relational databases without the manual patching and backup work of self-hosting one; Redshift handles data-warehouse-scale analytics for reporting workloads too large for a standard operational database.

The appeal here is mostly about reducing the database administration burden on internal staff — patching, backup verification and failover are handled by the platform rather than someone's part-time responsibility.
