I use mostly the Postgres incarnation of Amazon RDS. Basically, Amazon RDS is a cheap database that is totally self-contained and self-managed, and that is its good part. There is also the downfall associated with the tool since you don't have you don't have root privileges or super-user privileges on Amazon RDS, so there are certain things you cannot do. Sometimes, when I really needed a database that I could have absolute control over, I used to spin AWS VMs and EC2 machines and load Postgres on that machine so that I could become a super-user. Amazon RDS is very useful for quick and dirty or for very established solutions where you don't have to develop or change a lot. Basically, you can you can load your data into Amazon RDS. In my data analytics space, I see Amazon RDS as an ancillary product to Redshift, which is the real workhorse in terms of big data, data warehousing, and analytics.
I use the solution in my company as a database. I use the solution for database setup and management, along with other factors like HA, durability, security, performance, automated backup, and maintenance.

We use Amazon RDS for our Oracle Learning system. About five clients or so use it for that. We also offer a database service using Oracle, Amazon RDS, and Microsoft SQL Server RDS for our rental clients.

Whatever is to be stored, for example, any database requirements, you can use RDS, unless you need to scale it to quite a large size, RDS could be a good solution. You can still go beyond RDS, however, basically for small to medium-sized database requirements, you can always reliably use RDS as a database solution.
We have on-prem servers and our database is hosted in the cloud on Amazon RDS. Everything is automated there, like setting up backups and replication. We have around 40 persons using RDS.
When I was working for at my previous organization, we wanted to bring stability to all our MySQL databases. As a DBA, at first, it was scary as I thought I would be out of a job, however, the RDS managed DB allowed me to focus more on optimization and less on administration. (both hardware and software). When I was working at another organization we had a large amount of MySQL on-prem to manage. It required lots of time to set them up, monitoring, and maintain them. RDS really allowed us to remove all the painful administration parts.
We deployed RDS in our environment, and our use case is so simple. We don't have large-scale use, but we will start using RDS with more users. For now, we deployed it, and we use RDS with only a few users.
We are using AWS RDS to have a database that we're not using at the moment. I'm not making any changes to the parameter of the database or the configuration of the database on AWS. I just have to open a new port on the map of the network to have a connection to the prepaid network.

This product is used primarily for storing data. The process is you have to reserve RDS space and then you can install any database scheme you want, for example, MariaDB, SQL or Aurora. We typically use Aurora DB.
The primary use case is when you have to host your application on the Amazon cloud and your application uses database. Amazon RDS supports the following database engines: Amazon Aurora, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle Database, and SQL Server database. Amazon provides AWS Database Migration Service to migrate your existing databases to the Amazon cloud. It automates many aspects of database management viz hardware provisioning, database set up, database patching, and backups, which frees your database administrator to focus on important tasks. It also saves on the DB licencing costs.
We have cloud infra and development teams and my job with this solution is to move them to a cloud architecture, so I create a migration plan for Database from on-premises to AWS Cloud , co-ordinate with teams to host the planned RDS solutions and provide support for post cloud hosting challenges for better customer experience.
Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) is a web service that makes it easier to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. It provides cost-efficient, resizeable capacity for an industry-standard relational database and manages common database administration tasks.
We use the platform for simple applications with straightforward database structures.
