Description

Fast, scalable, highly available, and fully managed MongoDB-compatible database service

Large scale data warehouse service for use with business intelligence tools

Full-featured RDBMS with a small footprint, either embedded into a Java application or used as a database server.

RDBMS for high security requirements

Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.
