Azure Cosmos DB: Liftoff
summary
Azure announces a native Postgres engine in Cosmos DB powered by Citus with online scale‑out: a non‑blocking create distributed table concurrently shards a table while inserts continue, and a background rebalancer moves a hot tenant to its own shard. Demos show ingest from Azure Blob Storage (3 million rows loaded in one run), IoT tests hitting ~750,000 events/sec with 15 billion rows (~4 TB) stored, <10 ms reads, JsonB for mixed schemas, and cross‑region read replicas for DR; trial requires no credit card.
