While creating a Cosmos DB, we have an option to apply Free Tier Discount.Serverless is a good choice while working with unpredictable traffic. For working with traffic requiring predictable performance, we can choose Provisioned Throughput. Azure Cosmos DB provides two capacity modes.In this example, we are going to use Core (SQL) As we discussed in the previous section, Azure Cosmos DB provides various APIs and we need to choose one.After that, we need to choose an Account Name.Then we need to either select an existing Resource Group or create a new one.First, we need to select an existing Subscription.In the Create Azure Cosmos DB Account screen, we need to provide a few details for the account: Creating an Azure Cosmos DBįor creating a Cosmos DB, we can use the Azure Cosmos DB template from the Azure Marketplace: In this article, we are going to explore the Core (SQL) API with an ASP.NET Core WEB API application. It supports various database APIs including the native Core (SQL) API, API for MongoDB, Cassandra API, Gremlin API, and Table API. Cosmos DB gives us simplified application development with fast and open-source APIs and multiple SDKs. It provides real-time access with fast read and writes latencies globally, high throughput, and configurable consistency.

It can also handle automatic scaling by responding to real-time usage.Ĭosmos DB is a great choice for Web, Mobile, Gaming, and IoT applications that needs to handle massive amounts of data. Being a PaaS service, we don’t have to worry about database administration, management, updates, and patching. It supports many open source APIs and SDKs for popular languages. To achieve these, we usually deploy multiple instances of these applications in data centers that are close to the users.Īzure Cosmos DB is a fully managed NoSQL database in the cloud for modern app development.

Users expect the apps to be highly responsive and always online. Modern applications need to store huge volumes of data and make this available to users very quickly.
