Places get pretty big with no dedicated DBA resources these days. Last place I was at was a Fintech SaaS with 50 engineers and half a million paying customers.
Running off a couple of medium ( $3k/month each range ) RDS databases with failover setup. ECS for apps.
Databases looked after themselves. The senior people probably spent 20% of a FTE on stuff like optimizing it when load crept up.
Place before that was a similar size and no DBA either. People just muddled though.
