PaaS Database (and services beyond databases) solutions are everywhere in IT organizations. PaaS market themselves as trading off full control of a platform for reduced management overhead. But what are those trade-offs, and are they worth it to your business? In this session, you will learn about what you are giving up through the lens of services like Amazon RDS, Azure SQL Database, and Azure SQL Managed Instance, and what productivity gains you are getting. You will leave this session with an informed decision matrix around the best choices, not just your data platform, but generally evaluating PaaS vs IaaS decisions across IT solutions.
