macieksarnowicz is shadowbanned for whatever reason, but he answered:

Thank you for your feedback. We indeed offer a whole server (database cluster) and you can create multiple databases in it and have full control of the resources allocated to that cluster.

The admin user provisioned for the server is not a full superuser, but it is close to that. We are trying to find the right set of permissions to provide to our customers without jeopardizing our ability to manage this server for you. Please submit your feedback here: https://feedback.azure.com/forums/597976-azure-database-for-... if you see a problem with the permissions.

Thanks for re-posting.

I'll give it a try. It may well be permissive enough for our my clients' needs; though plv8 would still be a blocker (already voted on that one).

Please let us know what you think after you try it. We will be bringing in more extensions over the next months.

just as I offered to google, I'm happy to help with getting PLV8 supported.

is this fully managed autoscale like cloud datastore?
Re:Azure Database for MySQL and PostgreSQL by macieksarnowicz on Friday May 12, 2017 @08:07AM (#14323235)
We do not support automatic autoscale at this point, but it is definitely a feature we will be considering in the future. For now, you can scale on-demand in the portal or using Azure CLI.

it cannot do autoscale up and down now. But i think you can query for usage metrics and trigger a scale up/down with azure cli/powershell. This is a good feature we should have later in the public preview
