16### DB Instance Classes
17
18| Category | Example | Use Case |
19|----------|---------|----------|
20| Standard | db.m6g.large | General purpose |
21| Memory Optimized | db.r6g.large | High memory workloads |
22| Burstable | db.t3.medium | Variable workloads, dev/test |
23
24### Storage Types
25
26| Type | IOPS | Use Case |
27|------|------|----------|
28| gp3 | 3,000-16,000 | Most workloads |
29| io1/io2 | Up to 256,000 | High-performance OLTP |
30| magnetic | N/A | Legacy, avoid |
31
32### Multi-AZ Deployments
33
34- **Multi-AZ Instance**: Synchronous standby in different AZ
35- **Multi-AZ Cluster**: One writer, two reader instances (Aurora-like)
36
37### Read Replicas
38
39Asynchronous copies for read scaling. Can be cross-region.
