How do I choose a database on AWS? How do I choose between NoSQL (Amazon DynamoDB) vs SQL (Amazon RDS)? As a software engineer, when building a serverless microservice on AWS, I begin with analyzing the design of a RESTful API's data, to decide if it is relational and then I narrow down what the best database on AWS is for my microservice.
