Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Incredible product, amazing support
Reviewed on Nov 24, 2021
Review from a verified AWS customer
As our application scaled in complexity and in adoption, we quickly realized that we'd be running into serious bottlenecks with RDS. We looked into scaling and complex replication options, but soon realized that it just would not make financial sense.
We are thankful to have found Heimdall at a time when scaling became a focus area for us. Heimdall's solution helped us dramatically reduce the direct reliance on RDS while simultaneously improving our platform's performance.
The biggest wins for us have been:
- Reduced our RDS costs by 55% (compared a year after implementation)
- Improved application performance by approximately 80%
- Having not a vendor, but a partner in the journey to effective and feasible scaling.
I am not sure how we would have been able to scale our platform without Heimdall, especially in the critical cash-strapped arena that often defines startups.
