It's based on the latest stable version of the [Microsoft SQL Server database engine](https://docs.microsoft.com/sql/sql-server/sql-server-technical-documentation?toc=/azure/sql-database/toc.json). You can use advanced query processing features, such as [high-performance in-memory technologies](sql-database-in-memory.md) and [intelligent query processing](https://docs.microsoft.com/sql/relational-databases/performance/intelligent-query-processing?toc=/azure/sql-database/toc.json). In fact, the newest capabilities of SQL Server are released first to SQL Database, and then to SQL Server itself. You get the newest SQL Server capabilities with no overhead for patching or upgrading, tested across millions of databases.
