You'd only be looking at MySQL Query Workbench, if you were running and connecting to a MySQL Database.

Therefore, it certainly makes sense you stick with some of the official Microsoft Tooling to connect to it, query and administer it. Looking at your stack ( ), it seems you are using Azure SQL Databases. Regardless, you'd certainly only keep high-level records, meta data in Database, and the actual files, most-likely in S3, so that you can keep all options open in terms of what you'll do with them. Other database services exist, I'd recommend you also explore Dynamo DB. I personally would recommend MySQL (latest version available), as the official tooling for it (MySQL Workbench) is great, stable, and moreover free. As far as which database to chose, you'll have the choice between Postgresql, MySQL, Maria DB, SQL Server. Doing this on your own would either be risky, inefficient, or you might just give up. Such managed services easily allow you to apply new security patches and upgrades, set up backups, replication. Aurora would be my preferred choice given the benefits it offers, storage optimizations it comes with. If you are on AWS, thet have different offerings for database services. Don't spin up your own MySQL installation on your own Linux box.
