Azure Cosmos DB - The Best NoSQL Database You're Probably Not Using (Yet)
summary
Azure Cosmos DB claims 10 millisecond reads and 15 millisecond writes with a 99.99% SLA across 38+ Azure regions, while median reads/writes are closer to 2 ms and 6 ms. It uses per-collection provisioned throughput (RUs) billed whether used or not, supports MongoDB compatibility and Azure Table and a Gremlin graph API, auto-indexes JSON documents, encrypts data by default, runs stored procedures in JavaScript, offers one‑click geo‑replication and a portal/API manual failover — imported CSV via Mongo protocol works as shown.
