How do I see if an SQL Azure database is being throttled?
I want to see data like: what percentage of time it was throttled, the count of throttles, the top reasons of throttles.
See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2711868/azure-performance/13091125#13091125
Throttling is the least of your troubles. If you need performance then you would be best served to build your own DB servers using VM roles. I found that the performance of these is vastly improved over SQL Azure. For fault tolerance you can provision a primary and a failover in a different VM in a different region if necessary. Make sure that the DB resides on the local drive.
