Database Services Overview

Database as a Service (DBaaS) lets users move, store, and manage databases without setting up physical hardware or installing database software.

What is DBaaS

DBaaS abstracts the underlying infrastructure and provides automated provisioning, scaling, and high availability. By offloading administrative tasks such as infrastructure provisioning, patching, and updates, DBaaS lets developers focus on application logic and data modeling.
