Unclaimed: Are are working at Microsoft Azure ?
Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing service created by Microsoft for building, testing, deploying, and managing applications and services through Microsoft-managed data centers. It provides a range of cloud services, including those for compute, analytics, storage, and networking, allowing users to pick and choose from these services to develop and scale new applications, or run existing applications, in the public cloud.

The thing I like best about using Azure SQL Database is that our company has a best-in-class database without any of the upkeep. Not having to tune or update the database (because Microsoft handles all that) saves me a lot of time and effort. Working as the lone IT employee at my company, I appreciate how much of a force-multiplier automation and the cloud can be. Also, it is just a small part of what Azure has to offer and plays nice with Microsoft and non-Microsoft tech alike.
The only downside in my mind (which would apply to any cloud product) is that there is the possibility that the service can go down. In the years that we have been using Azure, I think it has happened once, for about 2 hours. The time I have saved and the ease of use and development that the company I work for has gained was well worth those couple hours lost.
Azure SQL is our primary data source, so it solves the problem of where our data is and how to connect to it. We have benefitted by being able to scale up our digital capabilities almost as rapidly as we can identify problems and solutions. It really has made the process of 'going digital' a fun event as opposed to a slog of warring against tech. I just can't imagine how it could be easier or more in reach for an organization of any size to gain some impressive capabilities at a very good price.
Scalability (can do auto-scaling when there is a need for more storage), High Availability and Disaster Recovery for business-critical tier, Security, and Performance if you tune the database properly.
The cost is high, there is limited control comparing to on-prem, and we have to do tuning to get the best out of the sql database and it is not so straightforward
Scalability issue, on prem if the storage ran out, we need to get extra disk and need to perform configuration for it to scale. Going to cloud, this is automated.
The DB have a great robustness and UI is very good.
Sometimes the DB logib is un responsiveness due to server busy.
We have RDBMS data and quanity of data is very big so we are hadnling this with Azure SQL DB.
The efficiency of deploying Azure SQL in minutes without the use of virtual machines.
Some features are not available on PaaS Solutions like SQL Agent, Linked Services.
Database for my internal apps and customer apps
Excellent integration features and security with SLA
Most of the on premises migrations wont support
Migrating on premises SQL and reduced head pain
Its performance is very great compared to other databases. It provides high security for the data.
As of now nothing could feel bad using this database.
It solved security issues and scalability issue.
Everything is shifting towards cloud platform and one of the easiest and reliable cloud database is '"Azure cloud database". It is easy to handle for me, I can integrate with external systems, and helps to execute queries. It saving lots of time as it is cloud plaform.
99.99% it helps me a lot but where other database wouldn't. Thinking using it for longer time and currently I dont have any issue with this. If I will face any issue I will give my reiew here.
Its completely cloud platform so without downloading it I can manage my data on server. I am using for my clients applications were they want to use this database for long time because of it performance and easy to use.
The best think is, it is fully managed by the azure. It is flexible we can increase the db size. There are multiple other benifit as well that are good in SQL Azure database.
In this there are some issue I have faced like windows authentication login creation. And for coss query on databases we have faced this issues.overall thing are good.
It is server less databases we can configure on Azure. It is easily scalable we can increase the database size. And there are other benifit as well like we can configure backup on Azure as well.
It`s a great well-known SQL database but cloud-native. This means that you don`t need to manually install, setup and manage database. You will have fantastic scalability out of the box. If you need to increase throughput of your database for a short time (black Friday, for example) - no problem, just switch it at the Azure console and wait several minutes. Then you can decrease throughput back to save money. Also it has an excellent SQL performance analyzer.
The throughput of this database is expensive. For the fast one you will pay significant money.
Scalable SQL data store for the web application. The main benefit is on-demand scalability options.
there are many things that can make someone like azure out of which my favourites were global community suppport, ton load of features, high scalability, easy devops integration and security of data with microsoft's assurance.
there are a few stuff i dislike about azure like the cost of the paid versions features, complexity wrt to alternatives like aws n gcp. Also the documentation is little bit complex which makes it bit hard to learn for beginners.
used it for learning cloud computing in college related projects. helped me get a good understanding of cloud based conceptsa and technologies and complete my college project
