Doppler: Automated SKU Recommendation in Migrating SQL Workloads to the Cloud

Summary: Doppler automates Azure SQL recommendations for migrations using a price–performance score from metrics, without access to sensitive data. Augmented by Azure-behavior priors, it nudges toward SKU, exposes cost savings, and is validated in DMS v5.5. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
