A page server is a core storage component in the Hyperscale architecture that manages a portion of the database's data pages and maintains its own SSD cache, consumes transaction log records and persists updates to Azure Storage.
Azure Storage's table service once suffered a far-reaching outage caused by a developer who rewrote the table interface code to optimize Xbox performance, but the untested blob interface entered an infinite loop on zero-byte-length requests, causing the storage frontend to hang.
The Xbox team raised a performance improvement request for Azure Storage Table Storage, and a Table server developer completed the optimized code, which was approved for gradual global rollout after passing integration tests.
