Simplify app dev with cloud-native PostgreSQL in Azure HorizonDB | DEM364

Enterprise developers creating AI‑driven applications face growing complexity as vector search, models, and retrieval pipelines sprawl across services. In this session, see how Azure HorizonDB streamlines the stack by embedding AI and search directly in the database. Learn to run hybrid vector queries, apply BM25 relevance, call managed AI models from SQL, and prototype agentic workflows—shipping faster with less architectural overhead.
