BaaS costs

[Lukas Spitaler]

Hi all and thanks for doing this AMA in the first place. Very excited about the whole BaaS thing! My question is: What is the „ROI“ for blockchain projects in terms of Azure costs? To what workload on Azure is BaaS comparable in that regard? Boils down to: From cash cow to PR stunt: Where does Microsoft stand in terms of Azure consumption/costs for BaaS?

Thanks!
