Amazon Relational Database Service (AWS RDS) is a relational database service available in AWS Cloud. The Spring Framework always had good support for database access technologies built on top of JDBC. Spring Cloud AWS uses the same principles to provide integration with AWS RDS service through the Spring Cloud AWS JDBC module.

In this tutorial, we will look at using the Spring Cloud AWS JDBC module of Spring Cloud AWS to integrate with the AWS RDS service with the help of some basic concepts of AWS RDS along with code examples.

Amazon Relational Database Service (AWS RDS) is a managed service for a set of supported relational databases. As of today, the supported databases are Amazon Aurora, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle Database, and SQL Server.

Apart from providing reliable infrastructure and scalable capacity, AWS takes care of all the database administration tasks like taking backups and applying database patches while leaving us free to focus on building our applications.
