Examples of Databases-as-a-Service (DBaaS)

Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) is a fully managed way to have databases hosted in the cloud, offering significant benefits compared to on-premises databases. DBaaS platforms are efficient, scalable, and secure, with pay-as-you-go pricing. Examples of NoSQL DBaaS include DataStax Astra DB, Google Bigtable, MongoDB Atlas, Amazon DynamoDB, and Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB. Relational DBaaS options include Microsoft Azure SQL Database, Amazon RDS, and Amazon Aurora. Making the move to DBaaS can benefit many use cases and applications, with advantages such as high performance, continuous availability, reliability, and massive scalability.
