Learn how to add readable secondary replicas to an Azure SQL Hyperscale database to offload read traffic, reduce primary load, and improve query latency for SaaS workloads.
Learn how Azure SQL Database Hyperscale decouples compute and storage to support databases up to 100 TB without the complexity of manual sharding.
Stop over-provisioning for peak loads. Learn how Azure SQL Database Hyperscale decouples compute from storage to handle bursty traffic and automatic storage growth.
Hyperscale separates compute from storage, giving you seconds-fast scaling, minute-fast restores, and storage-free read replicas — but asynchronous HA and unbundled billing mean it isn't right for every workload.
Learn how Azure SQL Hyperscale read scale‑out lets you add up to 30 read‑only replicas without extra storage cost, how to route traffic with ApplicationIntent=ReadOnly, and the key trade‑offs—replication lag, replica limits, and compute‑only pricing.
