    Standard Edition and Professional Edition

    RDS Copilot offers a Standard Edition and a Professional Edition (paid):

    • Standard Edition: Supports all RDS Copilot console features. You can use AI-powered database diagnostics and optimization at no cost. This edition is ideal for developers, database administrators (DBAs), and other technical staff who want to improve operations and maintenance (O&M) efficiency.

    • Professional Edition: Builds on the Standard Edition with added capabilities: API access (for integration with internal enterprise platforms), batch instance health checks, and ecosystem integrations such as DingTalk and Lark robots. It includes dedicated technical support. You can also purchase AI Capacity Plans to boost O&M efficiency. This edition is designed for enterprise-level intelligent database O&M.
