Moneyball: Proactive Auto-Scaling in Microsoft Azure SQL Database Serverless

Summary: Moneyball introduces proactive auto-scaling for Azure SQL Database Serverless by predicting pause/resume patterns to pre-warm resources, reducing wake-up latency. It avoids short idle reclamation to balance QoS and cost, enabling global adoption. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
