A system like DynamoDB, that exposes no concept of database cluster size, would be a PaaS, then? Still sounds off, to me. "PaaS" just isn't a word that applies to a service that doesn't execute your code.
Something that's almost entirely a database on the backend could still be a PaaS if it runs your code, though—like Parse.
