I’ve been looking at moving my hosting to Azure… the piwik site itself (PHP) seems to be fine (albeit a tad slow, but i’ve not spent any time investigating or tuning it) hosted in a web app… but I decided to go down the path of using their MySQL database hosting solution, instead of hosting MySQL/MariaDB/etc in a VM… currently the region is restricted to preview mode, which only allows 50/100 DTUs.
I’ve only just begun my testing (two days so far)… but the biggest issue I seem to be hitting is related to upgrading piwik, in which I have hit the DTU limit on multiple occasions, which (as I understand it) causes the queries to execute slower… piwik reports that the database has disappeared, though I suspect a more technical description is that the command(s) timed out.
Obviously i’m not necessarily in “supported territory” here… and I have other concerns around long term support of this approach (backups being the biggest risk)… but I wanted to let you know what i’m seeing, so that you can give consideration to the scenario, whether you decide on establishing a minimum DTU requirement for azure deployments, or decide that it’s just not supported, or make code changes to support the longer delays.
Thanks,
