Feature

When you translate SQL queries from your source database, you can use configuration YAML files to optimize and improve the performance of your translated SQL. This feature is in preview.

Feature

Workload management now provides the following benefits:

• The autoscaler now scales up immediately.
• The autoscaler now scales more precisely.
• The autoscaler scales to the nearest multiple of 50 slots, instead of 100.
• You can now purchase capacity commitments, set baseline slots, and set autoscale max slots in incremental steps of 50 slots.
• If one minute or more has passed since the most recent increase in capacity, you can now reduce capacity without resetting the one minute minimum. This allows for multiple consecutive decreases without a one minute delay between them.

These features are now generally available (GA).
