Simple but effective no SQL Database

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Azure Cosmos DB from other similar products?

The Resource lies inside azure environment, so it smoothly connects with other Microsoft services like Azure cloud and external Microsoft applications like teams. Resource management can be done using Azure extension in vs code without even logging into UI.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Spinning up the instance is easy and enforcing schema is also simple. The cost to use this is also pretty generous and it also comes with free tier to try out. The latency for reads and writes is faster compared to other document DB's.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The Schema once created is hard to change and users must be cautions to number of inputs or outputs extracted from each instance as the Json format is used here with fixed keys and not a tabular storage. Querying is a little hard too.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are already using Microsoft products then Cosmos DB is a best choice for no SQL DB needs, there is a free tier available to test too so it is highly recommended.

Enables Productivity
Efficient Service
Caring
