Constant Time Recovery in Azure SQL Database
Summary: Introduces constant-time recovery by combining ARIES with MVCC to make restart independent of data size. Enables continuous log truncation even with long-running transactions, supporting large updates with constant log space and delivering sub-3-minute recoveries for 99.999% of cases.
