PostgreSQL on Azure supercharged for AI

Azure is doubling down on PostgreSQL, recognizing its popularity with AI developers (80% use it) and positioning it as a core database for AI-powered applications. They’re enhancing Azure Database for PostgreSQL with features like AI integration through Microsoft Foundry, improved performance, and new services like Azure HorizonDB for ultra-low latency workloads. Microsoft is also deeply involved in the PostgreSQL open-source community and providing developers with AI assistance directly within tools like Visual Studio Code and GitHub Copilot to streamline development and improve productivity.
