Embbed data and databases into a cloud?

Question

Hey guys!I have a question regarding data integration. I'm still new in the field and I'm just doing a little testing and trial and error myself, so I don't know much about it yet. If I write something incorrect, please correct me.So it's about databases and the question if you should integrate them including the data into a cloud. I've read that more and more people are doing this to ensure data integrity, security and better performance. There are also so-called DBaaS providers, such as Aiven or something like that, who make it possible to outsource databases to clouds. With the help of the provider, you can therefore administer and manage all databases or data. Maintenance is also carried out there, if you wish. Otherwise it is an open source application in itself.Has anyone already had experience with this? Is it worth the effort? After all, you could connect several databases with each other, couldn't you?It would be cool if someone would tell me his opinion, because I'm not sure if this would be feasible for me with my current knowledge. I am currently using MySQL databases.Best regards
