Which one is the cheapest to use AWS RDS or my own database?

Question

On my EC2 instance, I have my WordPress application running, which one to use Amazon RDS or my own database on different hosting? Which one would be cheaper?

Answer 1

Here running on different hosting will cause latency.

If you are running on RDS, let's take db.t2.micro then $0.018 per hour or $12.96 per month for RDS. And if running on EC2, let's take t2.micro then $0.0126 per hour or $9.07 per month.

If your application is small, you could host both your database and application on the same machine.
