MySQL on RDS
MySQL is an open-source relational database management system. Its name is a combination of "My", the name of co-founder Michael Widenius's daughter My, and "SQL", the abbreviation for Structured Query Language. On AWS RDS MySQL is easier to manage. Streamkap can connect to MySQL by reading the MySQL change logs, real-time change data capture has less impact on your database while allowing you to sync your data in real-time to support your use cases.
