Azure Data Studio is a Lightweight open-source cross-platform database tool, which does not require any installation and can run directly from external device. It supports Microsoft family of on-premises and cloud data platforms and has built-in versions for Windows, MacOS, and Linux. It offers rich T-SQL editor, Intellisense, code snippets, source control integration (Git), and an integrated terminal.

Azure Data Studio allows the users to manage built-in and custom Dashboards, add and edit "Insight Widgets", which present information on the server or database level. We can convert any user query into a Widget in less than 20 seconds, and we can present the result of any query in different formats including complex graphs with one click of the mouse
