Well.. In Azure PaaS we have two options to create and manage SQL database

1. Azure SQL database

2. Azure Managed SQL Instance

In managed instance have capability to create and manage up to 100 databases.

Compared with Azure SQL database each DB has specific computing and storage, but in Managed instance common compute and storage for all DBs inside the Managed instance.

Azure managed instance is good for easy lift and shift migration from On-premise to Azure.

Easy to keep many databases as needed.
