Any #Azure, specifically #AzureSQL product peeps on here? I would *really* like a realtime layer on top of AzureSQL without having to roll my own with SQL Change Feed/Functions/SignalR etc. I want Supabase simplicity without having to spin up a whole bunch of stuff.

Azure SQL Devs’ Corner
Allan Svelmøe HansenSep 25, 2025

I'm always surprised by how slow Azure databases are, compared to actual/local installations ..... makes realistic testing very difficult unless on a carbon-copy of production.
Queries and inserts that run in seconds or less when local/dedicated, takes minutes on staging/prod.

I know, I know - you get what you pay for, but it's danged hard to find actual numbers for anything.
