I am working on Amazon RDS, but I don't need instances to run all the day 24/7, as I'm only developing right now. Is there any way to stop an RDS instance when I don't need it? I don't want to pay what I don't use!

You can also use mysql. rds_stop_replication to stop replication between two Amazon RDS DB instances. You typically stop replication to perform a long running operation on the read replica, such as creating a large index on the read replica. You can restart any replication process that you stopped by calling mysql.
Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/ . In the navigation pane, choose Databases, and then choose the DB instance that you want to stop. For Actions, choose Stop.
With Multi-AZ RDS Replication in place, AWS RDS will automatically & synchronously Replicate data to a standby Replica with minimum latency. It thereby helps minimize latency-based spikes while carrying out backups and further boosts redundancy of data across numerous standbys.
There is no "stop/start" actions for RDS databases, currently you'd have to terminate the database taking a final snapshot and restore from that snapshot.
UPDATE: Now supported (thanks @venkata-mutyala): https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2017/06/amazon-rds-supports-stopping-and-starting-of-database-instances/
