Assumptions

The estimate below assumes:

  • 500 users in the tenant
  • Each user performs 5 add, update or delete operations per day.
  • Each user uses messaging extension 25 times/week.

SKU recommendations

The recommended SKUs for a production environment are:

  • App Service: Standard (S1)
  • Azure Search: Basic
    • The Azure Search service cannot be upgraded once it is provisioned, so select a tier that will meet your anticipated needs.

Estimated load

Data storage: 1 GB max

Table data operations:

  • Bot
    • Total number of read calls in storage = 4 calls/hour * 24 hours/day * 30 days = 2880
    • Total number of write calls in storage = 4 calls/hour * 24 hours/day * 30 days = 2880
