AWS Purpose-Built Databases for Architects

Fully managed SaaS offerings allow an actual choice for development since operational complexity becomes manageable. A lot of jargon, theorems and abbreviations like ACID, BASE, PIE, CAP, OLTP, OLAP, SQL, noSQL, serverless, columnar, analytical, big data are used, which makes it hard to make an informed decision.
