Microsoft announced public preview of Azure HorizonDB, a cloud-native PostgreSQL with built-in AI features for agents.
“Horizon DB is designed for this new era of AI agents. So it comes with built-in AI models, AI pipelines and AI functions.”
Microsoft unveiled Azure HorizonDB, a new cloud-native PostgreSQL database now in public preview, pairing the open-source Postgres engine with scalable cloud storage for 3x higher transaction throughput and 3x faster vector search.
