What's wrong with using RDS in production? I'd rather do that than build around a vendor-lock-in Amazon offering when not strictly necessary. I'd also rather do that than administer a database myself.
- bootlooped 8y ago"...AWS RDS Sevice. It offers t2.micro for free during the first 12 months. It is fine for development. However, I will not recommend using it in production." I think maybe they were talking specifically about not using the t2.micro instance size in production.
- scanr 8y agoDo you know what the downsides would be of using a t2.micro in production (for a low volume of requests)?
- jrs95 8y agoNothing is "wrong" with it, you just can't feasibly do it for free.
- pagnihotry 8y agoHi ameliaquining, like bootlooped pointed out, I am suggesting to not use t2.micro in production and not RDS.
- Drdrdrq 8y agoHi, thanks for the write-up, very informative! What would be the lowest instance type you would recommend for a similar setup? I have an app I'm thinking of porting to AWS...
- pagnihotry 8y agoC/M should do it for general workloads in production, R/I on RDS. If you are doing something specific, you may have to look closely at the resource bottlenecks on those instances. t2.micro should be fine for development.
