The Developers Guide to Azure SQL Hyperscale
Azure SQL Hyperscale is not just for large databases, Microsoft wants developers to start with it by default
“Nowadays, people think it's only for the largest databases. So, I hope one of the things I'm going to dispel today is that myth.”
Microsoft Principal Architect Bob Ward delivered a developer education session at Build about Azure SQL Hyperscale, primarily aimed at correcting the misconception that it is only suitable for large-scale databases. The session is hands-on and demo-driven with no substantive AI content. A brief mention of a forthcoming keynote on 'SQL and AI across everything' is the only AI-adjacent signal, but no details are provided.
