I am developing an app that needs to store microblog messages consisting of multiple paragraphs of HTML formatted text and multiple images. I am planning to use Azure storage for all data and am storing structured data in Azure Table Storage. I am wondering whether it would be better to store the microblog messages in Azure Table Storage or just put it in Azure Blob Storage. Does anyone have an opinion on which is better?

How big are your images? I would prefer to use blob incase of memory requirement is more than approx 4MB (due to limit on table storage per entry). Usually table storage is for small data that needs to be queried independently. Blob is more like a file storage.

Look at the date on the question. You're not going to get a reply from a question that was asked 9 years ago.
