Database as a service is a type of cloud-based service, that provides database instances on demand, the end user can run database-driven (storage workloads) via integrating Dbaas.
The data can be structured,semi-structural, and object storage. The Dbaas provides an interface for all kinds of database-driven operations.
The MYSQL – Postgres – NOSQL – MongoDB and the DB drivers are available via accessing data platforms offered by all the major cloud service providers. DbaaS is integrated to handle database workloads.
Dbass service will offer:
- master data management
- real duplicate master/slave architecture)
- 24/7 data availability
- prices – per – usage
- Data integrity
- Data consistency
DbaaS is a cost-effective solution for DB write/read ops. Db can be vertically and horizontally scaled via auto-scaling.The Ability to deliver a database as a service model is referred to as DbaaS.
DbaaS is a cloud database deployment model that is a highly efficient and high-performance database system at scale.
Dbaas cloud manager can manage the DB instance and spin up and spin down based on real-time requirements, due to its rapid, reliable, and scalable nature the Dbaas solution delivers faster Dev time and faster MVP launches.
Dbaas service will have set performance metrics and well-defined SLAs, hence the Dbaas will be managed with utmost diligence from the vendor’s end. A high level of data security is ensured by DBAAS and all the major DbaaS cloud providers will adhere to HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI DCC compliance.
End user —–IAM ———-DBAAS (write optimized | read optimized)
DbaaS setup is easier than traditional DB setup models, hence setup is faster, all the dependencies are injected, the Data is managed and a high level of DB abstraction is provided so that the user can concentrate on the DB-driven task rather than managing infrastructure. DBaaS drives data-driven operations at scale.

H/W-based database servers need to be managed by both the H/W team and the S\W team, a lot of patching and hardware connection/components has to be in place to deploy databases that can be scaled up both horizontally and vertically. The user access and user permission will be configured by DB admin on regular basis, in simple words managing the on-prem database is a complex task, and specialists are needed to manage the database infra.
All the lower level abstractions will be manged by DBAAS, all the end user has to do is to consume database by carrying out (Read /write) operations by using (Dbaas platform).
The OS, DB driver, Hardware, and software layer, all will be abstracted and managed by cloud service providers.
End user consumes Dbaas as a service model, Dbaas simplifies the management, monitoring, and maintenance of the database by effective database workload management, key management, activity tracking & many other vital features.
The legacy database setup will require the following (Most preferred ) H/W Database | OS | Database drivers |thus Integrating the 3 components will be more flexible and feature-full as compared to Dbaas, but the integration and maintenance time will be increased drastically, as the database drivers and the hardware need to be updated frequently.
Dbaas offers high-level abstraction as the lower layer abstraction like H/W driven ops are managed/updated by the Dbaas vendor, hence running the Dbaas will not require DB ADMIN, SERVER ADMIN, H/W ENGINEERS to fix/manage/troubleshoot DB servers.
The user will be assigned access level via IAM and GUI-based operations, the user can connect the web server with the DB server via API calls. The Dbaas vendor can also offer to handle both the compute workload and database workloads for the end user thus ensuring flexibility, intuitiveness, efficiency, low maintainability and easy integrations.
Major use case: Web/mobile apps, sensitive data apps, SAP / ERP / CRM, Serverless infra.
