Answer 1

Hi @Jonash Orcajo (International Supplier)

Yes, Serverless is a compute tier for single databases in Azure SQL Database that automatically scales compute based on workload demand and bills for the amount of compute used per second. The serverless compute tier also automatically pauses databases during inactive periods when only storage is billed and automatically resumes databases when activity returns.

• When the database is paused, the compute cost is zero and only storage costs are incurred.

The amount of compute billed for a serverless database is the maximum of CPU used and memory used each second.
