Interact With PostgreSQL Flexible Server Using a Python-Based Web App
Description
Azure PostgreSQL is a fully-managed relational database service offered by Microsoft Azure. It is a powerful, scalable, and highly available database service that provides enterprise-level features and security. It comes with a simple and intuitive web-based interface that makes it easy to create and manage databases. Additionally, it offers built-in security features, such as firewall rules and SSL support, to ensure that your data is safe and secure.
Using PostgreSQL with Python Django app is also quite beneficial. Django is a high-level Python web framework that makes it easy to build web applications quickly. By using PostgreSQL with Django, you get access to the full range of PostgreSQL's features, such as advanced indexing, data types, and query optimizations. This allows you to build robust and scalable applications that can handle large amounts of data and high levels of traffic.
