Frequently Asked Questions
Migration to Azure SQL is appropriate when you need to reduce infrastructure management overhead, improve scalability and availability with built-in features, leverage cloud-native capabilities like geo-replication and automated backups, optimize costs through elastic scaling and pay-as-you-go pricing, or modernize applications with managed database services. We assess database size, transaction volume, feature dependencies, compliance requirements, and total cost of ownership to determine migration readiness and recommend appropriate Azure SQL tiers.
Our performance optimization process includes identifying slow-running queries through monitoring and profiling, analyzing execution plans to understand query behavior, reviewing indexing strategies and creating missing indexes, optimizing stored procedures and application data access patterns, evaluating database configuration settings, and implementing caching strategies where appropriate. We prioritize optimizations based on impact, providing quick wins for critical bottlenecks while planning long-term architectural improvements. Performance gains typically range from modest improvements to orders-of-magnitude query time reductions.
Azure SQL Database is a managed relational database service compatible with SQL Server, ideal for transactional applications requiring ACID compliance, complex queries, and relational data models. Cosmos DB is a globally distributed NoSQL database designed for applications requiring millisecond response times, elastic scalability, and multi-region replication with support for document, key-value, graph, and column-family data models. We recommend Azure SQL for traditional business applications with structured data and Cosmos DB for globally distributed applications, IoT scenarios, or use cases requiring extreme scale and low latency.
Database security is implemented through multiple layers, including authentication using Azure Active Directory and SQL authentication, role-based access control with the principle of least privilege, encryption at rest using Transparent Data Encryption, encryption in transit with TLS, network security using private endpoints and firewall rules, audit logging for compliance and forensic analysis, regular vulnerability assessments, and backup encryption. We align security configurations with compliance frameworks, including GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2, implementing controls specific to regulatory requirements and conducting periodic security reviews.
