Azure SQL Database Management, Beyond What Azure Provides
Geopits provides the expert DBA layer that Azure SQL Database does not. As a certified Microsoft Partner, we manage the performance, cost, and reliability of your Azure SQL environment so your team gets more from the infrastructure you are already paying for. From slow query analysis and compute tier optimisation to elastic pool management, geo-replication health, and DTU and vCore rightsizing, we handle what Azure Monitor and Query Store surface but cannot fix.
Azure SQL Runs Your Database. We Make It Perform.
Azure SQL Database is a fully managed relational database service built on the Microsoft SQL Server engine, offered as part of the Azure cloud platform. It handles the infrastructure layer of database operations, covering provisioning, patching, backups, and high availability through geo-replication and failover groups, with compute options spanning DTU-based tiers, vCore purchasing models, serverless configurations, Hyperscale, and Managed Instance for near-complete SQL Server compatibility.
What Azure SQL does not provide is database expertise. It monitors infrastructure metrics through Azure Monitor and surfaces query data through Query Store and Intelligent Query Processing, but it does not tune your slow queries, right-size your compute tier for your actual workload, optimise elastic pool configuration, or alert your team when a bad execution plan is quietly degrading response times. As a certified Microsoft Partner with deep Azure SQL experience, Geopits fills that gap. We manage the performance and cost layer on top of your Azure SQL infrastructure so you get the full value of what you are paying Microsoft for.
What We Manage in Your Azure SQL Environment
Every Geopits Azure SQL engagement covers the performance and cost layer that Microsoft does not manage. Continuous visibility into query performance, compute utilisation, elastic pool health, geo-replication lag, and storage growth powered by GeoOps, our in-house monitoring platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
If we are already on Azure SQL Database, why do we need Geopits?
Azure SQL manages your infrastructure, not your database performance. It handles provisioning, patching, and basic availability, but it does not tune your slow queries, right-size your compute tier for your actual workload, optimise elastic pool configuration, or proactively catch execution plan regressions. As a certified Microsoft Partner, Geopits provides the expert DBA layer that fills that gap.
What does Azure SQL Database managed services from Geopits include?
Our Azure SQL engagement covers 24/7 monitoring beyond Azure Monitor, slow query and execution plan tuning, DTU and vCore tier optimisation, elastic pool management, geo-replication and failover group health, backup and long-term retention management, cost optimisation, and incident response. Every engagement includes proactive monitoring via GeoOps and a dedicated DBA team familiar with your Azure SQL environment.
Do you support Azure SQL Managed Instance as well as Azure SQL Database?
Yes. Geopits manages both Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Managed Instance. Managed Instance provides near-complete SQL Server compatibility for teams migrating from on-premise SQL Server, and we bring the same SQL Server DBA depth to managing it in Azure.
How does Geopits monitor Azure SQL differently from Azure Monitor?
Azure Monitor tracks infrastructure-level metrics like CPU, DTU consumption, and storage. GeoOps, our in-house monitoring platform, adds database-level visibility: slow query tracking, execution plan changes, index usage patterns, blocking and deadlock detection, and connection pool saturation. We surface and act on issues that Azure Monitor cannot see.
How does Geopits help reduce our Azure SQL costs?
We review compute tier selection, DTU versus vCore purchasing model suitability, elastic pool configuration, reserved capacity opportunities, and long-term backup retention costs. Most teams find meaningful cost savings within the first quarter without any reduction in performance or availability.
How quickly can Geopits onboard our existing Azure SQL environment?
Most Azure SQL environments are fully onboarded within two to three weeks. We start with a read-only audit covering compute tiers, elastic pool configuration, Query Store data, slow query patterns, and cost breakdown before taking any operational action. No downtime required.
Do you handle Azure SQL version and feature updates?
Yes. Azure SQL Database is a continuously updated service, and we track feature releases, breaking changes, and deprecation notices on your behalf. For Managed Instance, we plan and schedule major version upgrades with tested rollback procedures.
Is Geopits Azure SQL support available for startups or only for large enterprises?
We work with both. Engagements are scoped to your Azure SQL footprint and growth stage, so you are not paying for coverage that does not match your actual needs.
Ready to Transform Your Data?
Geopits works alongside your team as a strategic partner, starting with stabilizing your current databases, then modernizing your data infrastructure, and ultimately helping you unlock the full potential of AI.
