Does Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server idle when it is in the burstable compute tier?

Question

Is the following information accurate? Because we are experiencing prolonged database context initialization from time to time, I wonder if anyone else has encountered the same situation

"In the Burstable compute tier, the server can experience periods of inactivity, or "idle" periods."

Hi Yavuz Soylu •,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum and thanks for using Azure Services.

As I understand, you want to know if Azure Database for PostgreSQL flexible server idle when it is in the burstable compute tier.

Currently,

High availability is not supported with burstable compute tier.

Also, PgBouncer is currently not supported with Burstable server compute tier.

Please be aware that enabling Query Store on the Burstable pricing tier can lead to a negative impact on performance. As a result, it is generally not recommended to use Query Store with this particular pricing tier.

Could you please share the document link for the verbatim shared in the original question if the above statements do not help.

Do share more details so that we can assist you further.

Thank you.
