It was great talking with @analyticanna.bsky.social - we took a quick, but also a reasonably deep dive into #AzureSQL Hyperscale elastic pools. Do take a look when convenient and looking forward to your questions and feedback!

A significant milestone - enabling customers to migrate to #AzureSQL while ensuring gr8 price / perf. Using elastic pools for migrations ensures both isolation (security) of different workloads, and resource pooling. Read Ajith's blog post for details!

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!

Wow these Coway HEPA air purifiers are ~$90-off in the off-season, I have FIVE of them. You are not going to find these for $130 new again. Basically the gold standard of this market segment highly recommended fantastic quiet. Cheap aftermarket filters.

Also, new folks, please know that when it comes to trolls, jerks, chuds and other undesirables here in the sky, we subscribe to the idea of “Don’t Engage, Just Block.” The block function is superpowered and expunges them entirely from your timeline. They hate it! Block with wild abandon! Don’t wait!
