Typical Use Cases

Reducing Read Pressure with Read/Write Splitting

RDS for SQL Server 2022 Enterprise Edition, 2019 Enterprise Edition, and 2017 Enterprise Edition allow you to create read replicas. RDS uses read replicas to reduce the read load on primary DB instances.

To offload read pressure on the primary DB instance, you can create one or more read replicas in the same region as the primary instance. These read replicas can process a large number of read requests and increase application throughput.

Storing Diverse Data Types

RDS can work with Distributed Cache Service (DCS) for Redis, GeminiDB Redis API, and OBS to store different types of data.
