Description

Azure HorizonDB is a PostgreSQL-compatible database service engineered for performance and built for what's next. It delivers future-proof autoscaling storage up to 128 TB, up to three times faster performance than self-managed PostgreSQL, and rapid compute scalability reaching 3,072 vCores, so you can support your most demanding workloads with confidence. 

Now available in public preview, Azure HorizonDB is designed for mission-critical applications that require enterprise-grade security, reliability, and scale. With Azure HorizonDB, you can build smarter, more scalable applications using in-database, pre-provisioned AI models; advanced capabilities like DiskANN vector indexing for fast, filtered vector search; and native semantic operators that enable intelligent query experiences. Familiar PostgreSQL extensions and seamless GitHub Copilot integration help streamline development so teams can move from idea to impact faster. Integrated into the Microsoft ecosystem, Azure HorizonDB makes it easy to connect to Azure AI and analytics services without added complexity, so you can focus on innovation, not integration.
