Hello
We are exploring a system to analyze and filter data uploaded and downloaded to our site in sharepoint online. For this we need to inspect all data that gets uploaded and downloaded from our site.
We are looking at the possibility of using synchronous events available in sharepoint. This may work for uploads. But we still haven't figured out a way to do this transparently for the downloads without disrupting
the usual user experience.
But we have a concern how this would perform as the load goes up. The inspection and filtering could be quite processing intensive.
* What are the typical ways to scale horizontally in sharepoint online?
*How well does event receiver codes scale?
* Is there anything specific that we need to be concerned about?
* What has been your experience in scaling event receiver based code?
Thanks
