This document discusses Database as a Service (DBaaS). It begins by defining DBaaS and describing the tasks involved in managing databases, such as setup, configuration, monitoring, backups and upgrades. It then lists the benefits of DBaaS such as reduced time spent on management tasks and increased scalability. Requirements for DBaaS like security, availability and ease of use are outlined. Different DBaaS architectures including proxy-based and DNS-based models are presented, along with examples. The document concludes by comparing several DBaaS providers and listing useful ScaleChamp features and links.

• Database as a Service
• Managed Databases
• Managed DBaaS
• Cloud Databases
• Automated Databases

5. What is DBaaS?

6. What is DBaaS?
1. Node setup - Linux tuning, file permissions, fs encryption, firewall;
2. Database installation - get database package from known source;
3. Database configuration - based on node setup, TLS, etc;
4. Monitoring configuration - to check database health and metrics;
5. Backups configuration - backup encryption, PITR, logical, cron, etc;
6. Incident response - events handling to failover in case of db failure;
7. Upgrades - database version, disk, memory, nodes, etc.

7. 2. DBaaS Benefits

8. DBaaS Benefits
• Reduce time to install database (one time);
• Reduce time to operate and failover database (continuous task 1/m);
• Reduce time to upgrade database (continuous task 1/q);
• Reduce time to setup monitoring (one time, 1/scale);
• Reduce time to setup automated backups (one time, 1/scale);
• Reduce time to setup security and E2E encryption (one time);
• Reduce time for tuning (one time, 1/scale);
• Reduce human error factor (sh*t happens).

9. DBaaS Benefits
• Essentially even developer can bootstrap production grade database
via DBaaS self-service control panel, based on requirements of data
storage (in-memory/disk) in a few minutes;
• Scale database in case of almost no disk space left, etc.

10. 3. DBaaS Requirements

11. DBaaS Requirements
• ISO 27001
• SOC2
• GDPR
• HIPAA
• CCPA

12. DBaaS Requirements
• All database connections should be encrypted;
• All DBaaS customer’s secrets should be encrypted (not hashed, TDE);
• LUKS disk encryption;
• Backup encryption (OpenPGP, etc);
• Periodic secrets rotation;
• SLA 99% uptime and higher;
• Time to provision in a few minutes (< 5min);
• Ability to access from anywhere and from nowhere (VPC).

13. DBaaS Requirements
• Multi-AZ deployments;
• Simple to use;
• No vendor lock;
