Companies like Ubicloud gives hosted actions faster and far more cheaper (5-10x) than Microsoft itself.

Now Microsoft will charge "data plane usage" (CRUDing a row that contains (id, ts, state_enum, acc_id ...) in essence) 2.5 more than what Ubicloud offers for WHOLE compute. Also to have "fair pricing" they'll make you pay 2.5 more the compute's price for being able to use their data plane.

cool.

it's rather egregious that it is a "per minute" tax rather than a $0.002 per job.
