Azure SQL Database
Azure SQL Database is a fully managed cloud relational database service provided by Microsoft Azure. It is designed to help developers build and scale applications with high performance and reliability. The service supports automation, allowing teams to manage their database infrastructure efficiently without the overhead of maintaining physical servers or complex on-premises setups.
Choose this service when you need a reliable, scalable relational database in the cloud. Be aware that there is no free tier available for this offering. Pricing operates on a pay-as-you-go model, starting from $0.0250 per GB/month, which means costs will accumulate based on your actual storage usage rather than a fixed monthly fee.
