what about calling the database app "database"


There isn't just one database app. They have Aurora, DynamoDB, ElastiCache, Neptune, RDS, and Redshift.


"fast sql database," "fast nosql database," "redis cache nosql database," "graph database," "rds (is actually named right lol)," "big analytics SQL database."


As a longtime supporter of Remote Desktop Service in Windows, seeing AWS RDS took a while to get used to.

They could have named WorkSpace as Remote Desktop Service, which it is. Instead, many of my co-workers think AWS means only Amazon WorkSpace.


Amazon Relational Database Amazon Keystore Amazon Warehouse Database Amazon Analytics Database

I agree these would be much more descriptive.


RDS doesn't scream DB at me.


It could have been AuroraDB, DynamoDB, NeptuneDB, RDBS, and RedshiftDB. At least people would be able to tell that all of those are databases.


Case in point, Aurora is a type of database within RDS. RDS and Aurora are not separate database apps.


They list it as a separate product and they have slightly different logos. https://aws.amazon.com/products/databases/


There are multiple database apps, but yes they could have been a bit more generic.


which database app?
