For the sake of that talk I focused only on open source you could self-host. SQL • PostgreSQL • CockroachDB NoSQL • MongoDB • Redis • ScyllaDB [Cassandra] There are a lot of points in the DBaaS world to also consider, but there's also issues of visibility — can these issues be known, perceived or understood from a user's POV? Are they documented? Or are some of these considerations obscured and trade secreted? So I had to pare down. I planned to do a whole different talk on DBaaS systems, and yes, I'd likely shortlist Bigtable, Spanner, DynamoDB, and a few others for that. Only so much to do in an hour! :)
