    Ok... what does a "Storage Transaction" actually consist of?  I ask because many of the hits are pretty large batches.  By the same token, we also have tens of million single row hits per hour (and that's just from one app).  If each one of those is going to cost $0.0004, then there's going to be hell to pay when someone sees the bill for a month. 😉

    Jeff - not sure I completely follow how this gets translated into English, but this might help a bit with the definitions.

    I'm hoping that the price per transaction is low because it sounds like you would have a LOT of those suckers in a given month.If I follow the logic it would be substantially more granular than SQL server transactions.
