"Shireesh Thota, corporate vice president for databases at Microsoft, ... did not answer questions about pricing for the various Azure PostgreSQL services."

HorizonDB sounds interesting, but it’s hard to evaluate until Microsoft clarifies how it differs from their existing Postgres offerings (Flexible Server, Hyperscale/Citus, CosmosDB integrations).

Without clear pricing + performance characteristics, it’s difficult to know whether this is a new architecture or just another SKU in an already crowded lineup
