Hows does the video indexer Classic scale?

Question

Hi guys,

we are using the video indexer in our video upload flow, and we are almost ready to release the flow in production, i can't find any information about the video indexer scaling, so my questions are:

-Can you provide me some information about the classic video indexer scaling?
-How does the video indexer work if we send to it multiple request in a short range of time?

We imagine something like 100 videos per day, the videos are stored in a blob storage.

Thank you.

Here are some considerations when using Azure Video Indexer at scale:

Some possible bottlenecks to consider:

1. Throttling happens when you exceed 60 uploads per minute. 100 videos a day from a paid account is not a problem if you don’t upload it all in the same minute.
2. Using a blob storage download URL instead of uploading a media file allows you to index larger files (30GB compared with 2GB).
