This session examines how strategic customers transformed their operations and tackled major modernizations using Azure SQL. We will provide an in-depth look at the technical strategies used to update various workloads, such as an insurance quote engine for a top global insurer and a leading banking platform, both migrated to Azure SQL. These systems handle millions of transactions per hour and support essential functions, which demand high levels of speed, resilience, and scalability. Each has benefited significantly from moving to Azure SQL. The session will outline the process of migrating these high-volume applications to the cloud to achieve improved performance, security, and innovation.
