The document discusses the migration from Azure Database for PostgreSQL – Single Server to Flexible Server powered by AMD EPYC processors, highlighting significant performance improvements and cost-effectiveness. It emphasizes that the migration process is simplified using the Azure migration tool, resulting in increased orders per minute and better input/output operations per second (IOPS). Overall, the flexible server offers a more favorable performance per dollar, enhancing user experiences and supporting higher database accessibility.

1. Realize better value and performance migrating from
Azure Database for PostgreSQL – Single Server to
Flexible Server with AMD EPYC
With Azure Database for PostgreSQL – Single Server instances set for retirement, the time to
migrate to your databases to new Azure Database for PostgreSQL – Flexible Server instances is now.
The Azure migration tool makes migration easy, and Flexible Server instances
backed with AMD EPYC™
processors have plenty of benefits to offer.

Get stronger online transaction processing (OLTP) performance for PostgreSQL databases
More new orders per minute (NOPM) means you can handle more users accessing your database—which can
lead to better user experiences and more customers at a time making purchases on ecommerce sites.

Higher input/output operations per second (IOPS) numbers show that users can perform
more database actions at once without degrading the user experience.
Make the most out your budget with an even better value
Flexible Server doesn’t break the bank. We found it offered a better value overall,
dramatically increasing performance per dollar.
