RDS Proxy

RDS Proxy is a managed service from AWS that acts as a middleman between your application and the database. It helps improve performance and reliability by managing database connections efficiently—reducing the number of connections needed, lowering the load, and handling failovers smoothly. This ensures your application can access the database faster, with fewer interruptions, especially during high traffic or server issues. Essentially, RDS Proxy streamlines database connectivity, making your application more scalable, resilient, and easier to manage.
