Are you looking to accelerate Azure SQL workloads while keeping cloud costs under control — or aiming to achieve the best possible performance from SQL Server on-premises? This session tackles real-world performance challenges by dissecting slow-running queries to uncover inefficiencies and hidden bottlenecks. Through hands-on examples and proven diagnostic techniques, you will learn how to apply intelligent optimization strategies that deliver measurable improvements in speed and resource utilization. We take a deep dive into the SQL Server query engine to explore how Intelligent Query Processing (IQP) enhances performance — and where its limitations may affect reliability in production workloads.
