“AWS provides purpose-built database services that allow organizations to choose the optimal data store for each workload, enabling scalability, performance, and cost efficiency compared to traditional monolithic database systems.”

Key Concept
👉 AWS philosophy = “Right database for the right workload”
Instead of one system (like Exadata), AWS offers:

• Multiple specialized databases
• Each optimized for a specific use case 

Real Example (Fintech Architecture)

• Transactions → Aurora / RDS
• User sessions → DynamoDB
• Analytics → Redshift
• Caching → ElastiCache
