Azure Database for PostgreSQL
What Azure Database for PostgreSQL is
Azure Database for PostgreSQL is a managed PostgreSQL service deployed in the cloud and accessed through the web. It is a paid product with no free plan. Listed capabilities include high availability, read replicas, JSON data support, and backup retention of 7.0 days. The Burstable B1ms plan specifies 1 vCore, 2 GiB of memory, and a maximum of 50 connections. As a managed service, it provides the database service model without requiring a desktop installation. High availability supports continuity options, while read replicas can provide additional read capacity. JSON support is available for applications that store or query JSON values. The listed platform is web, so teams work with a browser-accessed cloud service. Before selecting a deployment, users can assess the stated connection ceiling, backup period, replica support, availability option, and resource specifications against their PostgreSQL workload.
