Azure SQL Storage is much more expensive than Windows Azure Storage. Implementing a no-sql solution like RavenDB will allow me to store data on cheaper Azure Storage? Are there any other questions, such as backup, speed, or security?
Thank.
You should keep in mind that with SQL Azure you not only get storage, but also a database server. If you are implementing RavenDB, you will need a worker role to host it and, to resolve the failure of this worker role, another replica role, which also doubles memory.
