Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) is a service that is managed by a cloud operator (public or private) that supports applications, without the application team assuming responsibility for traditional database administration functions. With a DBaaS, the application developers should not need to be database experts, nor should they have to hire a database administrator (DBA) to maintain the database. True DBaaS nirvana will be achieved when application developers can simply call a database service and it works without even having to consider the database. This would mean that the database would seamlessly scale and it would be maintained, upgraded, backed-up and handle server failure, all without impacting the developer in any way. From the developer’s perspective, this is the definition of DBaaS.
