Handles the full lifecycle of AWS RDS databases from provisioning to performance tuning. You get patterns for creating instances across engines (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Aurora), setting up Multi-AZ deployments, configuring read replicas, and managing backups with point-in-time recovery. The security guidance is solid, covering VPC isolation, IAM authentication, and SSL enforcement through parameter groups. Includes real troubleshooting for connectivity issues and performance debugging with Enhanced Monitoring. Most useful when you need to set up production-grade managed databases without digging through AWS docs for the right CLI flags and security configurations.
