Azure SQL Benchmark: Comparing Performances Between DTU and vCore | HackerNoon
Briefly

The article emphasizes the importance of performance tests, hardware considerations, tempdb, and execution plans in choosing between DTU and vCore Azure SQL offerings.
It highlights the use of existing APIs with time measurements rather than synthetic tests to accurately measure system performance with real data and queries.
Different scenarios were created to test performance levels, including Medium SELECTs, Large SELECTs, Medium UPDATEs, Medium INSERTs, Large INSERTs, Extremely Large INSERTs, and All-in scenarios.
Each scenario represented different database operations like JOINs, ORDER BYs, and read/write operations, providing a comprehensive understanding of the system's capabilities.
