When you create a new site collection, you are prompted to enter a value for the Server Resource Quota, as shown in Figure 8-4. The value you enter in the box represents resource points that measure the effectiveness of custom applications running inside your site collection. For example, say you uploaded a custom Web Part that does a lot of calculations and uses up a lot of computing power. Share- Point Online monitors how many resources your custom Web Part uses. The resource points that you assigned will authorize SharePoint Online to either leave it alone if it’s performing within the quota, throttle it if the code is poorly written and starts to hog all the resources, and ultimately kill the Web Part or make the application stop running if it goes haywire and starts to cause problems. Fortu- nately, the killing only happens within the affected site collection and has no impact in other site collections within the tenancy.
