Today was the end of my experiment with MySQL PaaS in Azure.

To be honest – performance, metrics and security were as described. Private connectivity within the virtual network, horizontal and vertical scaling, great metrics.

I got burned twice.

Once with a “potential bug” that burned $65k of Azure spend in a few hours (that was eventually refunded!), more recently with the Azure portal throwing errors continually.

I’ve exported the data, reimported to an IaaS MySQL/MariaDB instance – and moved on.
