We are pleased to announce the general availability of higher eDTU limits for Standard elastic pools in Azure SQL Database. Before the preview the maximum eDTUs per database in a Standard elastic pool was limited to 100 eDTUs. Since the preview this limit increased to as much as 3000 eDTUs with new click stop choices starting at 200 eDTUs. These higher limits are especially well suited for databases with activity bursts that demand more CPU than previously provided by Standard pools. For IO intensive workloads, Premium pools continue to provide the best performance experience with lower latency per IO and more IOPS per eDTU.
