Azure has multiple database-as-a-service offerings including SQL (azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/sql-database/), DocumentDB (azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/documentdb/), and Redis Cache (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cache/ http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cache/).
- bduerst 12y agoThose aren't OLAP replacements though, right? You would still need to manually build an OLAP db from the lower level to report on them. Maybe I'm wrong since I haven't used Azure...
- rjbwork 12y agoYou're right, Azure SQL is very limited in terms of being quite different from non-hosted SQL offerings. You can't just throw OLAP on top.
- bduerst 12y agoAzure is a PAAS, right? OLAP should be one of the native offerings from Microsoft. Google has BigQuery and AWS has Redshift.
- rjbwork 12y agoYes they should. It's literally the only big thing lacking IMO at the moment...hell they even have a fully automated machine learning pipeline offering that can auto-generate APIs from trained models...But no OLAP :-/
