🔑 RDS Proxy helps scale applications by providing better availability, resilience, and security.
📊 Applications running in the cloud require scalability to handle increasing workload efficiently.
🔒 Better access control and not sharing credentials are essential for maintaining application security.
🔑 Amazon RDS Proxy is a fully managed database proxy service.
⚡ It supports connection pooling with multiplexing, enabling a large number of application connections with a smaller set of database connections.
🛡️ RDS Proxy integrates closely with Secrets Manager for secure credential storage and allows enforcement of IAM authentication to avoid storing passwords in application configuration files.
📚 Amazon RDS Proxy provides connection pooling, failover, and security controls for applications connecting to databases.
🔀 RDS Proxy increases application scalability and database resource efficiency by smartly managing database connections.
🌐 RDS Proxy improves application availability by preserving connections during failovers and facilitating faster seamless failovers.
⏱️ Failover times with direct connection to the database range from 10 to 50 seconds, but with RDS Proxy they are consistently under 10 seconds.
🔒 RDS Proxy provides authentication and authorization options, including storing credentials in Secrets Manager and using IM execution role for authentication.
🔒 Security groups in RDS Proxy control access between the application, proxy, and database.
⭐ Amazon RDS Proxy allows for easy setup and scaling of applications that communicate with a database.
✨ The setup involves configuring security groups to allow communication between the application, proxy, and database.
📈 Monitoring tools like CloudWatch can track the number of connections and help manage scalability.
💡 Amazon RDS Proxy allows for scalable application by supporting 1,000 connections or 15 times the capacity of the database.
⚙️ Seamless and faster failovers are demonstrated using two instances and the cluster endpoint, with minimal disruption and quick reconnection to the database.
🔒 RDS Proxy provides transaction-level load balancing and sharing, improving scalability and minimizing resource overhead on the database instance.
🔒 The Amazon RDS Proxy tracks changes to variables, functions, prepared statements, and other configurations.
🔄 To avoid pinning, exclude variable sets and use initialization queries to maintain consistent session state.
📊 Monitor metrics such as session pinning and borrow latency to optimize proxy usage and scale database capacity.
🔁 Read replicas will soon be supported on RDS Proxy, providing connection pooling, faster failovers, and better security.
