is untrue. Most of our customers have DBs that are in the GB size. A few have TB size DBs, and none are on that scale.

datastore-as-a-service doesn't replace DBAs - we make good money being remote DBAs for people who are using datastore-as-a-service providers, because they still run into the same problems as everyone else.
