Azure Cosmos DB for beginners

Create database, container, add and query data in Azure Cosmos DB

Today’s applications are required to be highly responsive and always online. To achieve low latency and high availability, instances of these applications need to be deployed in datacentres that are close to their users. Applications need to respond in real time to large changes in usage at peak hours, store ever increasing volumes of data, and make this data available to users in milliseconds.

What you’ll learn

  • Create Azure Account.
  • Create Azure Cosmos DB Account.
  • Create a resource on Azure Cosmos DB.
  • Add database and Container to Azure Cosmos DB Resource.
  • Add data to Cosmos DB Container.
  • Query Cosmos DB Container.

Today’s applications are required to be highly responsive and always online. To achieve low latency and high availability, instances of these applications need to be deployed in datacentres that are close to their users. Applications need to respond in real time to large changes in usage at peak hours, store ever increasing volumes of data, and make this data available to users in milliseconds.

Azure Cosmos DB is a fully managed NoSQL database for modern app development. Single-digit millisecond response times, and automatic and instant scalability, guarantee speed at any scale. Business continuity is assured with SLA-backed availability and enterprise-grade security. App development is faster and more productive thanks to turnkey multi region data distribution anywhere in the world, open source APIs and SDKs for popular languages. As a fully managed service, Azure Cosmos DB takes database administration off your hands with automatic management, updates and patching. It also handles capacity management with cost-effective serverless and automatic scaling options that respond to application needs to match capacity with demand.

Any web, mobile, gaming, and IoT application that needs to handle massive amounts of data, reads, and writes at a global scale with near-real response times for a variety of data will benefit from Cosmos DB’s guaranteed high availability, high throughput, low latency, and tunable consistency. Learn about how Azure Cosmos DB can be used to build IoT and telematics, retail and marketing, gaming and web and mobile applications.
