AWS has loudly (at re:invent everything is loud) dropped a small revolution into the pricing pond. Savings Plans for Database look a natural extension of the past, but there is much more. Especially following the recent subscription model.

- Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS),
- Amazon DynamoDB,
- Amazon ElastiCache,
- Amazon DocumentDB (with MongoDB compatibility),
- Amazon Neptune,
- Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra),
- Amazon Timestream, and
- AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS).
