Learn how PostgreSQL on Azure helps organizations migrate from Oracle, reduce costs, and modernize data infrastructure with enterprise-grade performance.

Azure's blog provides insights into cloud computing, infrastructure as a service (IaaS), and platform as a service (PaaS), offering documentation, tutorials, and best practices for deploying and managing applications on Microsoft Azure cloud platform. By exploring Azure's curated content, developers can learn about virtual machines, Azure App Service, Azure Functions, and Azure DevOps for building, deploying, and scaling applications in the cloud. Whether you're migrating existing workloads or developing cloud-native applications, Azure offers resources to accelerate your cloud journey and achieve business goals.

Microsoft Azure

Microsoft outlines how Azure Database for PostgreSQL and the new Azure HorizonDB service help enterprises migrate away from Oracle and other legacy on-premises databases. Key highlights include an AI-assisted Oracle-to-PostgreSQL migration tool (powered by GitHub Copilot, available as a VS Code extension preview) that automates schema conversion, application code refactoring, and validation. A case study from Apollo Hospitals shows 60% cost reduction, 3x performance improvement, 99.95% uptime, and 40% faster deployments after migrating. Azure HorizonDB, currently in private preview, supports up to 3,072 vCores, 128 TB auto-scaling storage, sub-millisecond multi-zone commit latencies, and built-in AI/DiskANN capabilities for extreme-scale workloads.
