Databases power every app - but they’re never “set & forget.” Backups fail, patches lag, scaling breaks. That’s why Servala makes managed databases reliable, secure & easy by default.⚡ servala.com/article/why-... #Cloud #DevOps #Kubernetes #DataBase #DBs #ManagedDatabases #ManagedServices
Servala - Why Managed Databases: The Hidden Complexity
Modern apps rely on data - and databases are their backbone. But running them is complex: backups, scaling, patching, monitoring, and compliance need constant care and expertise.

Too often, organizations hand over control to closed ecosystems and proprietary platforms - losing visibility, sovereignty, and independence.
