Azure Cosmos DB: A look at the Universe
summary
Azure Cosmos DB offers global distribution with automatic partitioning and automatic indexing, uses a Request Unit (RU) billing model, and exposes SDKs (.NET, Java, Python, MongoDB API) plus a REST API. It targets 99.999% availability and under 10ms reads and writes for well-provisioned workloads, provides four consistency levels, and supports JSON SQL‑like queries but lacks full SQL joins/aggregations and has short backup windows and higher cost. Microsoft services (Azure AD, Xbox, Skype) run on it.
