Amazon RDS vs Redis To Go: What are the differences?
Developers describe Amazon RDS as "Set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud". Amazon RDS gives you access to the capabilities of a familiar MySQL, Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server database engine. This means that the code, applications, and tools you already use today with your existing databases can be used with Amazon RDS. Amazon RDS automatically patches the database software and backs up your database, storing the backups for a user-defined retention period and enabling point-in-time recovery. You benefit from the flexibility of being able to scale the compute resources or storage capacity associated with your Database Instance (DB Instance) via a single API call. On the other hand, Redis To Go is detailed as "Simple Redis hosting". Redis To Go was created to make the managing Redis instances easier, whether it is just one instance or serveral. Deploying a new instance of Redis is dead simple, whether for production or development.
Amazon RDS belongs to "SQL Database as a Service" category of the tech stack, while Redis To Go can be primarily classified under "Redis Hosting".
"Reliable failovers" is the primary reason why developers consider Amazon RDS over the competitors, whereas "Heroku Add-on" was stated as the key factor in picking Redis To Go.
According to the StackShare community, Amazon RDS has a broader approval, being mentioned in 1435 company stacks & 526 developers stacks; compared to Redis To Go, which is listed in 9 company stacks and 4 developer stacks.
