title: Azure Search scalability
body: <p>We are developing a mobile app that should scale for thousands of users and we are using Azure Search as our main storage. According to <a href="http://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/pricing/details/search/" rel="nofollow">Azure pricing model</a> the query limits are set to 15 queries per second/per unit for the standard plan. With these limits and with a system that should scale with thousands of concurent users we would hit the limits pretty quickly.</p>
  
  <p>In our situation is Azure Search not the right option when scaling for thousands of concurrent users? 
  Would DocumentDB be a better option?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
