To optimize storage costs in Azure Table Storage, consider these strategies:
1. Partitioning: Design an efficient partition key to distribute data evenly and enable parallel operations.
2. Compression: Compress data before storing it to reduce the size of stored entities.
3. Deletion policies: Implement a retention policy to delete old or unused data periodically.
4. Data archiving: Move infrequently accessed data to lower-cost storage tiers like Azure Blob Storage’s Cool or Archive tier.
5. Traffic optimization: Use caching mechanisms like Azure CDN or Redis Cache to minimize requests to Table Storage.
6. Batch transactions: Group multiple operations into a single batch transaction to reduce transaction costs.
