Diamond Sponsor Hall by Microsoft:
In this session, we will explore Azure Database for PostgreSQL – Flexible Server, a fully managed PostgreSQL service on Azure. Through live demos, we will highlight the key capabilities that set it apart from other offerings in the market.
Key topics include:
Elasticity – Effortless compute scaling with near-zero downtime, independent storage and IOPS, and its unique capability to scale-out into a cluster.
Automatic Tuning – Intelligent performance optimizations through index recommendations and dynamic server parameter tuning.
Enterprise Readiness – Enhanced security and compliance with Customer Managed Keys (CMK), Private Networking access, Integration with Microsoft Entra ID, ensuring robust identity and access management.
Unique Manageability Features – A backported pg_signal_autovacuum_worker role from PostgreSQL 18 (upcoming major release), enabling better control over autovacuum without superuser privileges.
AI-Ready Databases
Demonstration of DiskANN vector indexing, a cutting-edge technique for efficient search over large-scale, high-dimensional data.
Apache Graph Extension for efficiently storing and querying graph data in PostgreSQL.
Data Integration
Power BI Connector – Power BI connector for data visualizations and reporting.
ADF connector - Copy data to and from Azure Database for PostgreSQL using ADF PostgreSQL connector.
High-Speed Migrations – Simplified, high-performance migrations using pgcopydb.
