Hard to move
Azure SQL Database on Scaleway: what it becomes and what it costs.
On Scaleway, Azure SQL Database becomes PostgreSQL with a migration, or SQL Server on a Scaleway VM (licence extra). T-SQL and SQL Server features do not port to open source without work; DTU-based tiers (S3, P1) are priced here by ratio since they carry no vCore meters.
Effort grade
Hard
No equivalent: redesign it, buy a SaaS, or leave it where it is
Cost after the move, before engineer time
50% of today
General Purpose 4 vCore is about $750/mo; SQL Server Standard licence ≈ $300/mo for 4 cores plus a CCX23 at €86 ≈ $400 is 50%; migrating to PostgreSQL instead lands near 15%.
Engineer time
16 h a month
To run the replacement: patching, backups, on-call. Plus about 15 engineer days for the move itself.
