Azure
I've started porting an existing ASP.NET web app to Windows Azure and have noticed that the development process is really slow. Each time I make a change to my code and want to view it, I have to effectively redeploy it to the local dev cloud (using Start debugging
(F5) or Start without debugging
(Ctrl-F5). The process itself takes over a minute, during which time Visual Studio is completely unresponsive.
Am I doing something wrong or is that simply how things are developing for Azure?
My specs:
- Visual Studio 2008 9.0.30729.1 SP
- 5 projects running on .NET 3.5 SP1
- Azure SDK 1.1 (February 2010)
- Single instance of a single web role
- Dual-core AMD 64 machine with 8GB RAM, 64-bit Windows 7, fully patched
- The main project itself is quite large (3k files, ~200k lines) but compiles normally in 10-15 seconds
