    The difference in resources available. The pull of DBaaS as I see it is
    the being able to spin up db's as needed on a scale needed from one or
    more locations. All with a unified management fronted/API. Being
    competitive means being able to match that.

Yes that's the point. I'm not aware of an open source DBaaS software 
layer for PostgreSQL. Are there any attempts?

I missed that, I thought you where referring only to the Postgres 
database component only. So you want the management infrastructure to be 
Open Source also. I am not aware of any, but I don't work in the DBaaS 
field so take my observation in that light.

Cheers, Dirk
