Why should I use AWS RDS?
I mean if your goal is to learn about how a database works, no I wouldn't use RDS. The whole point of RDS is you don't really have to worry about how the database is hosted and managed in the backend, you just have to worry about your data. More on reddit.com

Cost Effective RDS
Cheapest I think is to get one server for your DB and application. A T3 nano or micro should be sufficient for small projects. I do understand that running your DB and your application on one server is not ideal, because of load and security reasons. I myself run a small project, and decided to go with RDS MySQL with the smallest instance there is. This because of all the features RDS provides. It saves a lot of time and works like a charm! For the application itself I run a T3micro. Everything costs me around 15 dollars a month. More on reddit.com

Am I doing something wrong? Why is RDS so expensive?

You're not just paying for the instance, you're paying for automated patching, automatic maintenance, and support. So it's going to cost more.

Also, it will cost* double if you're checking the box for "multi A-Z".

Using RDS the wrong way?

Using snapshots, you can regularly clone your RDS prod database and create a new instance from it. This could be used as the Dev/UAT database. Logic can be built around the copy, creation, deletion and maintenance of this process.

Best practices for Amazon RDS - Amazon Relational Database Service
When working with a Multi-AZ deployment of SQL Server, remember that Amazon RDS creates replicas for all SQL Server databases on your instance. If you don't want specific databases to have secondary replicas, set up a separate DB instance that doesn't use Multi-AZ for those databases. The 2019 AWS re:Invent conference included a presentation on new features and best practices for working with SQL Server on Amazon RDS.

RDS for MySQL | Noise
Unlike the traditional systems where data is siloed in one database and the user has to make a trade-off between unified analysis and performance, data engineers can now replicate data from multiple RDS for MySQL databases into a single Redshift data warehouse to derive holistic insights across many applications or partitions. Updates in transactional databases are automatically and continuously propagated to Amazon Redshift so data engineers have the most recent information in near real time. There is no infrastructure to manage and the integration can automatically scale up and down based on the data volume. At AWS, we have been making steady progress towards bringing our zero-ETL vision to life.
