Database as a Service

Database as a Service (DBaaS) is a method of storing and managing structured data using cloud computing. Similar to traditional relational database management systems (RDBMS) such as SQL Server, MySQL, and Oracle, DBaaS offers database functionality. However, as a cloud-based solution, DBaaS is highly flexible, scalable, and on-demand, with a focus on self-service and simplified management, especially in terms of provisioning a business's own environment. Most DBaaS solutions include monitoring capabilities to track performance and usage, and to notify users of potential issues. Additionally, DBaaS products can provide data analytics to some degree.
