Azure Form Intelligence Connected Container performance

Question

The Azure documentation provides recommendations for container requirements, suggesting that the recommended container size for a custom template is 8 cores and 24 GB memory. However, it does not specify any performance metrics, such as the number of requests or pages the container can handle on average. Is there any available information regarding this aspect?

Currently, only conducting research. Attempted to find an explanation in Azure documentation but found nothing.

Answer 1

Apart from the email response we received, perhaps this information will be useful for someone else:

This will vary depending on many factors including the complexity of the documents, and the overall number of pages. Without autoscaling enabled for the Azure platform document intelligence service, here is a comparison of using the minimum required compute for a container hosted environment vs the platform service using a single page, simple invoice document:

• ~400ms - Platform Service
• ~2000ms - Container Service

Please note that these don't use the exact same model due to the capabilities between the two services, but they were trained using the same training data and the same field requirements. Assuming you were to commit to the same requirements per month with the platform service, enabling autoscaling in the platform Document Intelligence service would provide you with the same consistency in usage.
