In a previous blog post, we highlighted the immense potential for our partners to drive significant business transformations with Linux on Microsoft Azure. We shared valuable resources designed to help our partners expand their practices and accelerate go-to-market strategies. This opportunity was echoed at last week’s Microsoft Build conference, where key announcements included advancements in AI, cloud computing, and developer tools. Today, we want to focus on the power of data and how PostgreSQL on Azure can be a game-changer for engaging with customers eager to modernize and innovate.
As businesses look to optimize operations, enhance security, and reduce costs, PostgreSQL has emerged as a go-to solution for building data management and AI solutions. Its scalability, data integrity, extensibility, and strong security features make it ideal for modern workloads. According to Timescale’s State of PostgreSQL 2024 report, PostgreSQL usage grew 20% in 2024. The report also showed that 55.3% of developers now use AI tools––up from 36.9% in 2023. Further, in the Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2024, PostgreSQL ranked as the top database among professional developers.
For Azure partners, this growth presents a compelling opportunity. Together, we can lead PostgreSQL migrations and support customers as they build AI and analytics solutions on a secure and scalable platform. With Azure Migrate and Modernize, we offer funding and expert support to help accelerate migrations and drive impact faster.
