Database Training Days 101: SQL Server Performance Tuning to Optimize Cloud Costs with Pinal Dave

Every query has a cost, typically measured through three critical resources: CPU, IO, and memory. When queries are not optimized for the cloud, they often lead to the need for expensive upgrades to cloud subscription models or result in extremely slow query performance. In this session, we will focus on how to tune queries for optimal efficiency when deployed to the cloud, ensuring they run smoothly with limited resources. Developers and DBAs will receive actionable knowledge and scripts to immediately enhance the performance of their slow-running queries.

Topics that will be discussed include:

• Understanding the cost of queries in terms of CPU, IO, and memory
• Strategies for optimizing queries for cloud environments
• Techniques to avoid unnecessary cloud subscription upgrades
• Practical scripts and tips for immediate performance improvements
