Find below the list of services in this category.

RDS (Relational Database Services)
       - Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) makes it easy to setup, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud.  It provides cost-effective and resizable capacity while automating time-consuming administration tasks such as hardware provisioning, database setup, patching, and backups.  It frees you to focus on your applications so you can give them the fast performance, high availability, security, and compatibility they need.

DynamoDB
       - Amazon DynamoDB is a fast and flexible NoSQL database service for all applications that need consistent, single-digit millisecond latency at any scale.  It is a fully managed cloud database and supports both document and key-value store models.  Its flexible data model, reliable performance, and automatic scaling of throughput capacity makes it a great fit for mobile, web, gaming, ad tech, IoT, and many other applications.
       - Note that this is a non-relational database.

ElastiCache
       - Amazon ElastiCache is a web service that makes it easy to deploy, operate, and scale an in-memory data store or cache in the cloud.  The service improves the performance of web applications by allowing you to retrieve information from fast, managed, in-memory data stores, instead of relying entirely on slower disk-based databases.

       - This is AWS' Data Warehousing solution.

Neptune
       - Amazon Neptune is a fast, reliable, fully managed graph database service that makes it easy to build and run applications that work with highly connected datasets.  The core of Neptune is a purpose-built, high-performance graph database engine that is optimized for storing billions of relationships and querying the graph with milliseconds latency.  Neptune supports the popular graph query languages Apache TinkerPop, Gremlin, and W3C's SPARQL, allowing you to build queries that efficiently navigate highly connected databases.  Neptune powers graph use cases such as recommendation engines, fraud detection, knowledge graphs, drug discovery, and network security.
