SQL Performance

FEBRUARY 26, 2020

Azure SQL Database Managed Instance became generally available in late 2018. Each service tier supports anywhere from 4 to 80 logical CPUs — also known as virtual cores, or vCores. Azure SQL Database has a similar issue with max database size, and Microsoft came up with a Hyperscale option. GB per vCore. Conclusion.

While all other DBaaS platforms require you to host through their service, ScaleGrid encourages users to host in the safety of their own accounts so they can leverage advanced security features like AWS Virtual Private Clouds (VPC) to protect their data from the internet, and Security Groups to lock down access to their servers.

Back in 2018, we taught those DevOps concepts and implemented unbreakable pipelines for cloud-native delivery projects. Last week we kicked it off with a three-hour virtual hands-on workshop.

Growth is still strong for such a large topic, but usage slowed in 2018 (+13%) and cooled significantly in 2019, growing by just 7%. But sustained interest in cloud migrations—usage was up almost 10% in 2019, on top of 30% in 2018—gets at another important emerging trend. ML + AI are up, but passions have cooled. Security is surging.
