Outcomes I Specialize In:

Correctly configured servers
Right-sized hardware
Efficient indexes
Optimized schema
Finely tuned queries
Resolved blocking and deadlocking
Well-trained database staff

Azure SQL Cost Reduction Services

My specialized approach to minimizing Azure SQL costs includes:

Resource Consumption Analysis: Identifying the queries and patterns driving your DTU/vCore usage
Query Optimization for Cloud: Rewriting expensive queries to dramatically reduce resource utilization
Index Strategy for Azure: Designing cloud-efficient indexes that minimize both storage costs and query resource usage
Workload Pattern Optimization: Restructuring data access patterns to take advantage of Azure caching
Right-sizing Recommendations: Data-driven analysis to identify the minimum service tier needed for your workload

Common Azure SQL Cost Drivers Eliminated

Excessive IO operations from inefficient queries
CPU-intensive execution plans that spike DTU/vCore usage
Memory pressure from suboptimal query design
Unnecessarily high service tier selection
Overly aggressive auto-scaling configuration
