I notice the difference, now it takes quite some time to load ...but it's ok. Btw, I never used azure, may I ask you how much it costs, out of curiosity?

Hi xarn,

I was also just now doing a new deploy/publish. I added sorting on the cards, and added links to the other parts of the project. I still need to configure the IIS thread pools, so they don't go all to sleep.
Once one is fired up (after a first call by someone), it shouldn't be to slow.

Here's the azure pricing calculator https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/calculator/
In short, all things like storage, database, etc... is cheap, but the uptime and processing power is costly.

I had first a D2_V2 VM configuration
It has 2 cores, 100 GB SSD, 7 GB RAM and that costs 175 euro / a month (without VAT)

I changed it to A1 VM configuration
It has 1 core, 40GB SSD, 1.75 GB RAM and cost 46 euro / a month (without VAT)

There is still one lower, and that's A0,
That's a shared core (0.25 core), 20 GB SSD,0.75 RAM and costs about 12 euro a month (without VAT)

Kind regards,
Nico

wow, that's quite hefty, I didn't expected that ...I think you can switch to an A0 since the site handles very few traffic.

Hi xarn,

I configured ISS to not recycle the app pools, it should perform better. Still, the site isn't precompiled, so first call will still be a bit slow.

I'll look into that. Problem is not the traffic, but the card generation using inkscape (lots of power and mem needed).

Kind regards,
Nico
