Personalized recommendation
Start with distributed SQL (resilience + scaling model)
If you truly need multi-region resilience and horizontal scaling patterns, validate the distributed SQL operating model early—it changes cost, query patterns, and governance.
How this works: Based on common constraint patterns, we match you to the operating model and products that typically fit. Verify against your specific requirements.
