Developing a Solution for Azure Cosmos DB

Cosmos DB is another powerful service that combines the advantages of NoSQL technology and the large, scalable infrastructure hosted in Azure. The main advantages of Cosmos DB include the following:

It has one of the highest Service-Level Agreement (SLA) availabilities for databases hosted in Azure
It has a strong PaaS managed by Microsoft
