Azure SQL Database is a fully managed database service, which means that Microsoft operates SQL Server for you and ensures its availability and performance. SQL Database also includes innovative features to enhance your business continuity, such as built-in high availability.
Azure SQL Database is the intelligent, scalable, relational database service built for the cloud. It's evergreen and always up to date, with AI-powered and automated features that optimize performance and durability for you. Serverless compute and Hyperscale storage options automatically scale resources on demand, so you can focus on building new applications without worrying about storage size or resource management.
Eliminate the complexity of configuring and managing high availability, tuning, backups and other database tasks with a fully managed SQL database.
Accelerate your application development on the only cloud with evergreen SQL using the latest SQL Server capabilities, and never worry about updates, upgrades, or end of support again.
Break through the resource limitations that can affect your application's performance. Azure SQL Database Hyperscale adapts to changing requirements by rapidly scaling storage up to 100 TB. Flexible, cloud native architecture allows storage to grow as needed and enables nearly instantaneous backups and fast database restores in minutes—regardless of the size of the data operation.
Build modern apps your way with provisioned and serverless compute options. Azure SQL Database serverless simplifies performance management and helps developers focus on building apps faster and more efficiently with compute resources that automatically scale based on workload demand.
SQL Database serverless is best for scenarios where usage is intermittent and unpredictable and you only pay for compute resources you use on a per-second basis, optimizing overall price-performance.
Switch to Azure SQL Database and get better price performance than other cloud providers. Azure SQL Database meets your mission-critical requirements while costing up very very less than the competition.
Thanks to our solutions-driven approach, we are also committed to changing your local setup, where needed, to connect to your new cloud infrastructure, with a promise to make sure that everything is running smoothly and effectively before your legacy set up is terminated.
