Question

AWS dynamo db has a throughput parameter you can set.

How does Azure Table Storage scale in that regard?

Answer 1

Windows Azure Table Storage does not provide a throughput parameter instead with throughput is already set for the Azure Table storage as described in this article.

Single Table Partition – a table partition are all of the entities in a table with the same partition key value, and most tables have many partitions. The throughput target for a single partition is:

• Up to 500 entities per second
• Note, this is for a single partition, and not a single table. Therefore, a table with good partitioning, can process up to a few thousand requests per second (up to the storage account target).
