In the previous chapter we introduced you to Azure Table storage; we covered the basics of this service and discovered its components and structure. Then we used the Azure Storage Client Library for .NET to operate on tables to create, update, and read entities. While table storage is designed to handle web-scale data, it is very important to know how to make the best of this service. This chapter will focus on the concerns to consider, such as performance, scalability, and cost, while designing your tables.
