I have been looking for ways to replicate data from on premise SQL 2012 to Azure SQL Database. I found a couple of old posts with options and I am curious what other people are doing.
Currently here are the options I have found:
* SSIS Packages - Not ideal for transactional replication, ok solution for snapshot type replication.
* SQL Data Sync - Doesn't look like it has been touched by Microsoft since 2012, worried they have abandoned it.
* Use Azure VMs - Way more cost than SQL Database.
Is there anything I am missing or is this still the only options that exist?
