Introduction to Azure Cosmos DB
In today’s digital landscape, where data is generated at an unprecedented pace, the need for scalable and efficient database solutions has never been greater. Azure Cosmos DB is a groundbreaking NoSQL database service offered by Microsoft. Traditional relational databases have served us well, but a new approach was required with the surge in unstructured and semi-structured data. This is where NoSQL databases such as Azure Cosmos DB step in. These databases are designed to handle large volumes of diverse data types without sacrificing performance. They use flexible data models, making them ideal for applications that demand agility and scalability. At the heart of Azure Cosmos DB lies its unique distributed architecture. Unlike traditional databases that rely on a single server, Cosmos DB embraces a distributed model that spans multiple regions and offers global data distribution. This ensures high availability, low latency, and fault tolerance...
