I do not usually link straight to other blog posts or technical papers but I really had to with this one because it contains awesome information. The paper is called “Azure SQL Database for Gaming Industry Workloads” by : Pankaj Arora, Senior Software Engineer, Microsoft.

Find the link here – https://azure.microsoft.com/mediahandler/files/resourcefiles/azure-sql-database-for-gaming-industry-workloads/Azure%20Sql%20DB%20for%20Gaming%20industry.pdf

Look out for the last section regarding the future, Hyperscale databases, Gen 6 hardware and potential “serverless” offering?

It got me excited.
