Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS)
In a relational database, data is stored in a way that relates it to other pieces of data.
An example of a relational database might be the coffee shop’s inventory management system. Each record in the database would include data for a single item, such as product name, size, price, and so on.
Relational databases use structured query language (SQL) to store and query data. This approach allows data to be stored in an easily understandable, consistent, and scalable way. For example, the coffee shop owners can write a SQL query to identify all the customers whose most frequently purchased drink is a medium latte.
Amazon DynamoDB
In a nonrelational database, you create tables. A table is a place where you can store and query data.
Nonrelational databases are sometimes referred to as “NoSQL databases” because they use structures other than rows and columns to organize data. One type of structural approach for nonrelational databases is key-value pairs. With key-value pairs, data is organized into items (keys), and items have attributes (values). You can think of attributes as being different features of your data.
In a key-value database, you can add or remove attributes from items in the table at any time. Additionally, not every item in the table has to have the same attributes.
Amazon Redshift
Amazon Redshift is a data warehousing service that you can use for big data analytics. It offers the ability to collect data from many sources and helps you to understand relationships and trends across your data.
Amazon DocumentDB

Amazon Quantum Ledger Database (Amazon QLDB)
Amazon Quantum Ledger Database (Amazon QLDB) is a ledger database service.
You can use Amazon QLDB to review a complete history of all the changes that have been made to your application data.
Amazon Managed Blockchain
Amazon Managed Blockchain is a service that you can use to create and manage blockchain networks with open-source frameworks.
Blockchain is a distributed ledger system that lets multiple parties run transactions and share data without a central authority.
Amazon ElastiCache
Amazon ElastiCache is a service that adds caching layers on top of your databases to help improve the read times of common requests.
It supports two types of data stores: Redis and Memcached.
Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator
Amazon DynamoDB Accelerator (DAX) is an in-memory cache for DynamoDB.
It helps improve response times from single-digit milliseconds to microseconds.
