Description

You can now scale your Azure Database for PostgreSQL servers that have high availability (HA) enabled with minimal impact to your users. The process usually takes less than 30 seconds, while traditional scaling can take 2 to 10 minutes. This new capability ensures near-zero downtime during scaling operations, allowing you to maintain business continuity while adapting to changing workloads. Whether you're responding to seasonal demand spikes or expanding your application footprint, this enhancement gives you the flexibility to scale seamlessly.
