Yes, some cloud providers readily suggest competing with them by making something better. In the end, the DB is still running on their infrastructure (required to keep the customer's latency low) and they are still capturing profit even if it is not as much as their DBaaS profit. There is a problem though that a DBaaS provider is still at an inherent disadvantage. You aren't in the AWS/GCP cli tool and APIs. And the DBaaS has to setup VPC peering across accounts, which has some inherit limitations (e.g. no DNS resolution on GCP). |

actually you do not need DNS resolution on GCP since you can actually have a high available IP way easier (which is way better). in AWS it's also possible to have a highly available IP, but it's way harder to do so.
