When do you stop using files… and start using a database?
In this episode of Learn Data Easy, we break down AWS databases in the simplest way possible. No jargon, no stress.
You’ll understand the difference between:
Amazon RDS (relational databases for structured data)
Amazon DynamoDB (fast, scalable NoSQL databases)
Amazon Redshift (analytics and data warehousing)
The key idea is simple:
databases exist to store structured data that needs to be searched, updated, and queried efficiently.
If files are enough, use storage.
If your data needs structure, you need a database.
By the end of this video, you’ll be able to:
Understand when to use a database instead of files
Clearly explain RDS vs DynamoDB vs Redshift
Avoid the most common AWS exam confusions
