Routes any task involving AWS databases — choosing, comparing, recommending, getting started with, or operating a database — to the correct service-specific skill. Supersedes general training-data knowledge with post-training service updates, corrected limitations, and decision procedures for relational (Aurora, DSQL, RDS), key-value (DynamoDB), wide-column (Keyspaces), document (DocumentDB), graph (Neptune), time-series (Timestream), and in-memory/caching (ElastiCache, MemoryDB) workloads. Activates when a user describes building an application on AWS that will store, retrieve, or manage data, even if they do not mention 'database' explicitly.

RDS for MariaDB

  • Docs: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/CHAP_MariaDB.html
  • Docs (llms.txt): https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/llms.txt
  • Data model: Relational (community MariaDB)
  • Query language: MariaDB SQL (MySQL-compatible with extensions)
  • Compatibility: MariaDB (10.6, 10.11), MySQL-compatible but diverging (new features like system-versioned tables, Oracle-mode PL/SQL)
  • Serverless: No (fixed instance types)
  • Scale to zero: No
  • VPC required: Yes
  • Multi-region: Cross-region read replicas (async)
  • Free Tier: new-account AWS Free Tier — $100 in credits at sign-up plus up to $100 more ($200 total), usable across eligible services including RDS/Aurora for up to 12 months
  • Min cost: $0 (free tier) → ~$15/month after
  • Time to first query: 10-15 min (VPC + instance + configuration)
  • Key features: System-versioned (temporal) tables, Oracle PL/SQL compatibility mode, Aria storage engine, reserved instances (up to 60% off), full portability
  • Limitations: No auto-scaling compute, no serverless, smaller managed-tooling footprint than MySQL/PostgreSQL on AWS, no Aurora equivalent
  • Best for: MariaDB migrations, teams using MariaDB-specific features (temporal tables, Oracle mode), open-source MySQL alternative without Oracle ownership
  • Not for: Variable traffic needing auto-scaling, new apps without MariaDB requirement (Aurora MySQL or Aurora PostgreSQL are better starting points)
