Good evening, I am trying to convince my team (a small team at a big company) to move from Azure Redis E10 to PostgreSQL, because I am tired of seeing how we (poorly) try to re-invent an SQL database using Redis.
My problem is that the team does not want and I am the only one liking SQL databases and especially PostgreSQL (using it for hobby projects since version 8, always a single instance with a pg_bouncer). I have spent 3 weeks including my weekends and prepared a PoC currently using 2 official PostgreSQL docker hub images in our AKS, but that setup looks toyish vs the expensive managed Redis E10. I would like to switch to the most official and supported Azure offering (and the money kind of does not matter), but a bit confused by the 3 Microsoft offerings I see: - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/postgresql "Azure Database for PostgreSQL" - this one scares me be talking about AI that we do not need. Also it looks more like some abstract product or is it a real setup? - "Azure Database for PostgreSQL Single Server" - I would take that, but it is obsolete/deprecated? - "Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server" - Looks like I have to take this one, but I do not want all the replication/zones features, because I have no experience there and we already have had enough headache with Redis Enterprise and some hashes not being saved because they are on different shards etc. Our setup: we need 2 databases with 3 and with 6 tables and few stored procedures and at the beginning they do not even to be permanent (it is ok to be empty on the pipeline deployment). Max 100 client connections. It would be nice to be able to scale up / scale down. So my question is: who is using what for PostgreSQL on Azure and how happy/unhappy are you with your product? Best regards Alex
