Strapi database and docker confusion

Hello, I am new to strapi, i am trying to containerize the strapi application using docker but I am confused if i should proceed using the database given by strapi itself or not, as running a containerized database doesnt seem right like there could be chances of data loss, so should i go with an external isolated database like an AWS RDS instance instead ?

What will be the pros and cons of using database given by strapi in the application itself? (for a contanierized strapi application)

any kind of advice related to this would be beneficial for my knowledge purposes

Thanks in advance
