Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server claims to auto-tune indexes by scanning Query Store and emitting create index and drop index recommendations hourly by default, with a demo showing portal, CLI (postgres flexible-server index-tuning list-recommendations returns JSON), and Visual Studio Code for applying scripts. The system estimates per-query improvement (configurable minimum ~20%) and max regression (configurable ~10%), reports index size savings, tracks sessions, and requires DB access to retrieve PII query text.
