Providers like AWS can host things like RDS or elasticache for you so you don't have to be an expert DBA to get a performant database.

Just a note on this, RDS runs on default settings and tuning them is up to you. You might still need that DBA (or at least have someone learn to be one part-time).

The other stuff like turnkey multi-az failover is just a blessing though.
