Storing images - SQL DB vs Azure Blob storage
<p>I am writing a new application at the moment and certain entities in the application have images (just used for display purposes on the website).</p>

<p>I want to host my application on azure later and I am trying to figure out whether it would be better to use Azure Blob storage to store all images or just store them in the DB?</p>

<p>What is better performance wise when loading the images on the website?</p>

<ul>
<li>SQL: Controller -> DB -> VIEW</li>
<li>Azure Blob: Controller -> Webcall to Azure DB -> VIEW</li>
</ul>

<p>Could someone please explain benefits of either solution to me so that I can make up my mind?</p>
