Azure Database for PostgreSQL Skill

This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Database for PostgreSQL. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, decision making, architecture & design patterns, limits & quotas, security, configuration, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.

How to Use This Skill

IMPORTANT for Agent: This file may be large. Use the Category Index below to locate relevant sections, then use read_file with specific line ranges (e.g., L136-L144) to read the sections needed for the user's question

IMPORTANT for Agent: If metadata.generated_at is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If mcp_microsoftdocs tools are not available, suggest the user install it: Installation Guide

This skill requires network access to fetch documentation content:

Preferred: Use mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch with query string from=learn-agent-skill. Returns Markdown.
Fallback: Use fetch_webpage with query string from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown. Returns Markdown.

Category Index

Category	Lines	Description
Troubleshooting	L37-L58	Diagnosing and fixing Azure PostgreSQL issues: connectivity/TLS, HA and replicas, CPU/memory/IOPS, slow queries, autovacuum, extensions/CLI/storage, capacity, and migration validation errors.
Best Practices	L59-L76	Performance, security, migration, and tooling best practices for Azure PostgreSQL: tuning queries, extensions, pooling, bulk load, stats, partitioning, pgvector, Oracle migration, and backups.
Decision Making	L77-L89	Guidance on sizing, scaling, and hosting Azure PostgreSQL, planning geo-replication/DR, and making cost/support decisions like reserved capacity and version extended support.
Architecture & Design Patterns	L90-L100	Patterns for using Azure PostgreSQL (often with OpenAI) to build recommendation/semantic search apps, microservices, multitenancy, real-time dashboards, and sharded/elastic data architectures.
Limits & Quotas	L101-L120	Backup/restore behavior, geo-restore and recovery, storage types/limits/performance, quotas and capacity limits, replica and connection limits, and known migration/conversion constraints
Security	L121-L151	Securing Azure Database for PostgreSQL: auth (Entra, SCRAM, TLS/SSL), firewall/VNet/Private Link, managed identities, encryption, auditing, roles, policies, and Defender for Cloud.
Configuration	L152-L241	Configuring Azure Database for PostgreSQL: server parameters, extensions, HA, maintenance, logging/monitoring, performance tuning, networking, migration settings, and WAL/replication options.
Integrations & Coding Patterns	L242-L271	Using Azure PostgreSQL with AI/ML (Azure AI, OpenAI, LangChain, Foundry), app SDKs (C#, Java, Python, Go, PHP), VS Code/Copilot, Storage, Data Factory, and migration tools (Ora2Pg, pg_dump).
Deployment	L272-L282	CI/CD deployment to Azure PostgreSQL, major upgrades, Bicep-based provisioning, app deployments (Django/AKS, Web Apps + VNet), maintenance rollout behavior, and point-in-time restore.
