Microsoft built Azure HorizonDB, a 99.9% Postgres database with separated compute/storage and Rust-built storage, for tier-1 scalability.
“HorizonDB is built on the concept of database as logs and separation of compute and storage, which allows compute and storage to scale independently.”
AWS offers vector search across existing data stores, requiring no data migration for agentic AI
“Vectors are the language of AI. They bridge frontier models and the scattered organizational knowledge accumulated over decades.”
AWS marks 20 years by showcasing India wins like ISRO docking and 22.6M student results on its infrastructure
“But our success with AI will depend on our ability to democratize technology.”
Choosing AMD EPYC-powered Azure infrastructure can improve PostgreSQL performance by over 60%.
“the 'Ea' series are often most recommended because the extra memory gives you more room to scale and PostgreSQL absolutely benefits from having more memory per vCPU”
Microsoft unveils Cobalt 200, its next-gen Azure ARM silicon, building on Cobalt 100's price-performance gains.
“It is Azure's own silicon purpose-built for the cloud and it is reshaping the price performance conversation for our customers.”
Azure SQL Hyperscale offers seamless scaling from free tier to 128TB without rebuilding
