In my opinion, for DBaaS, number of cores, amount of RAM, and even I/O performance for the buck are secondary considerations. After all, for any non-hobby application, the data are significantly more valuable than the hosting costs. I would be more interested in a comparison of security features, backup infrastructure, replication tooling, failover procedures, version upgrades, etc.
