The landing page says "With Azure Database for PostgreSQL, you can scale the performance of your database with no application downtime". I don't see an option to scale the Postgres database in my Azure Portal.

Is this feature not available yet?

The pricing is listed here: https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/postgres/pricing#pg-pricin...

Sample monthly pricing:

db-f1-micro instance : $7.56 for compute;

10GB HDD : $0.9 for storage;

No network cost if the database instance is talking to a GCE VM in the same region;

Disclaimer: I work on Google Cloud SQL

It provides : 1) Error Highlighting, 2) Auto Completion, 3) Click-to-Navigate, 4) Auto Formatting, 5) Auto Importing, among other features.
