Hyperscalers: The Dominant Players
Hyperscalers dominate the DBaaS market, because:
●They have more development resources and
engineering teams.
●They are in more regions and availability zones.
●They established market dominance by
entering the cloud industry in its early days.
But DBaaS users still choose other CSPs, due to:
●Vendor lock-in issues
●Increase costs overtime
●Niche specialization
●Regulatory compliance

Leveling the Playing Field
CSPs who want to offer DBaaS services need to differentiate
themselves by prioritizing:
●Data sovereignty and control: Leverage growing
concerns around data privacy by offering localized
storage options with advance automation. Enabling
customers to prevent forced data sharing by not
being subject to foreign governments laws.
●Customer-centricity: Prioritize exceptional service,
cost transparency and support to build strong
relationships with customers.
●Workload specialization: Develop unique features and
functionalities that cater to specific database needs.
