What is a Managed Database?

A managed database refers to a type of database service offered by cloud providers and third-party vendors. It provides businesses and organizations with a fully managed, cloud-based database solution that eliminates the need for users to handle database administration tasks such as hardware provisioning, software installation, patching, backups, and scaling. Managed databases simplify database management, reduce operational overhead, and allow users to focus on developing and using applications that rely on the database.
