Database as a Service (DBaaS) software, sometimes referred to as cloud database software, is the delivery of database functionalities as a service in much the same way that Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) or Platform as a Service (PaaS) provides IT technology platforms and development platforms as managed services in the cloud. In many cases, databases are included in Iaas and PaaS offerings.
Many DbaaS offerings are relational database management systems (RDBMS) requiring the use of SQL, but some are based on alternative technologies like NoSQL databases. The advantages of the cloud service model - primarily not having to install or maintain the software in the data center - are well understood. But there are also some disadvantages such as lack of control over network performance issues, or inability to compress data or other database maintenance tasks.

When considering DBaaS options, consider the following aspects of each product offering.
Database Type: Many DBaaS software options areuse SQL for querying and managing stored data. Some DBaaS software makes use of alternative options such as NoSQL. When purchasing a DBaaS software, you should consider what type of tables will work best for your organization, and what your database team will be most comfortable working with.
Integrations: Some DBaaS software options provide integrations with other applications, which can make it easier to pull in data from other sources. Consider what applications you need to extract data from when selecting a DBaaS.
