Amazon Web Services/Relational Database Service (RDS)
Amazon Relational Database Service (or Amazon RDS) is a distributed relational database service by Amazon Web Services (AWS), also included in the AWS Free Tier option.
You can create different types of DBs using AWS web page or AWS CLI.
Regarding possible cost while learning AWS RDS, just be aware that you will be able to stop AWS RDS instances from AWS Management Console or AWS CLI for 7 days period at a time, but after those 7 days, it will be automatically started by AWS.[1] [2]
