We are excited to announce that SkySQL now supports Microsoft Azure, complementing our existing support for AWS and GCP. This addition rounds out our offerings across all major cloud providers, allowing us to deliver our fully managed MySQL-compatible database services wherever our customers need them. Azure support is currently in “tech preview,” and we invite customers to begin testing and experiencing the seamless integration of SkySQL in the Azure environment.
Whether you are a developer building modern applications, an enterprise seeking reliable and scalable database management, or a business exploring multi-cloud strategies, SkySQL on Azure is designed to meet your needs.
Seamless Migration for Azure MariaDB Users
With Azure phasing out its own managed MariaDB service, SkySQL offers the best alternative. We provide seamless migration to SkySQL with zero downtime and at no cost to existing Azure MariaDB customers. This ensures continuity and enhanced performance for your database operations on Azure, without the need to change databases or make adjustments at the application layer.
SkySQL’s Unique Strengths
SkySQL goes beyond traditional database management to deliver a truly next-generation cloud database experience:
- Zero-Downtime Reliability: Unlike competitors relying on DNS-based failover that leads to minutes of downtime, SkySQL’s intelligent proxy technology ensures true zero-downtime failover. Our system actively manages failures and monitors replication lag, maintaining data consistency and true continuous availability.
- Precise Cost Optimization: Say goodbye to overprovisioning. While other solutions force you to pay for underutilized resources to maintain performance, SkySQL’s advanced auto-scaling capabilities for both compute and storage allow you to pay only for what you use. Our system dynamically adjusts resources, optimizing costs without compromising on performance or reliability.
- Simplified Operations: From our rich, streamlined UI and API to expert support through our SkyDBA service, we’ve designed every aspect of SkySQL to enhance your team’s productivity and reduce administrative overhead.
- True Multi-Cloud Flexibility: Leverage our unique multi-cloud architecture to seamlessly manage and replicate your data across multiple cloud providers and regions. This offers unparalleled disaster recovery options and global reach.
These core strengths, backed by our cutting-edge technology, position SkySQL as the most versatile, efficient, and powerful solution for businesses of all sizes, whether you’re Azure-native, multi-cloud, or just beginning your cloud journey.
