Azure Storage – Partition Strategy Simulator
Storage throttling is the silent killer of cloud applications — it only surfaces at production scale, and the fix is a schema redesign (the most expensive kind of change). Am sharing zero-install browser simulators here which let you visualize partition behaviour and detect hot-spots before you deploy. No Azure account needed, no costs involved, no hit and trial.
| Simulator | What It Answers |
|---|---|
| Blob Storage | Will my blob naming pattern create a hot partition server? Compares 6 naming strategies, visualizes partition spread. |
| Table Storage | Will my PartitionKey bottleneck under load? Simulates 6 key strategies, flags partitions exceeding 2,000 ops/sec. |
| Azure Files | Is my file share sized correctly? Models IOPS, throughput, and capacity against tier limits with visual gauges. |
