Is it worth caching data from Azure Table storage with the Azure Caching Preview? Or is the table storage fast enough in large scale applications?
Thanks

Azure table storage is being deprecated in favor of Azure Cosmos DB. Azure Cosmos DB offers many advantages over Azure table storage, such as: -Azure Cosmos DB is scalable.
Azure Table storage is a service that stores non-relational structured data (also known as structured NoSQL data) in the cloud, providing a key/attribute store with a schemaless design. Because Table storage is schemaless, it's easy to adapt your data as the needs of your application evolve.
Azure Cache for Redis is a fully managed, in-memory cache that enables high-performance and scalable architectures. Use it to create cloud or hybrid deployments that handle millions of requests per second at sub-millisecond latency—all with the configuration, security, and availability benefits of a managed service.
The short answer is it depends. In the application I am currently working on there is some information that we use caching for to handle both the latency of retrieving data from Table Storage and to accommodate the desired number of transactions per second.
We started out serving the information from Table Storage and moved to caching only when our performance requirements dictated it. I'd recommend a similar approach: make it work, then make it fast.
