We're load testing an Azure web application running on Azure integrated with SQL Server running on Azure VM. We see that the Visual Studio load test maxes out with 45-50 pages/sec but we can't find why. SQL Server performance counters (CPU, disk, memory) and Azure Analytics don't show any saturation. Does Azure throttle concurrent user

Hi,

 Can you let us know how exactly you are hosting your web application, are you using Cloud Services (Web & Worker Roles) or  Azure App Service - WebApps (Websites) service to host your application?

Nithin,

I'm working with Teo and we are hosting our web application in the Azure App Service (Azure Website) in standard mode. We've tried load testing with 1 instance, 3 instances, and 5 instances. We got better throughput going from 1-3, but moving to 5 did not make much of a difference.

Hi,

 Thank you for the information. Since you are using Azure Web Apps, I am moving this thread to our App Service (Web Apps) forums for better audience.
 You can expect a reply from our WebApps experts soon.
 
 Your Patience is appreciated.
