Hello My Friends, Welcome to CosmosDB

Peter Shore

Azure Cosmos DB is a globally distributed, multi-model database, at least that is how Microsoft defines it. Your reaction might be something like “What the heck is it”, “Why would I use it”, or “How do I use it”. The fundamental purpose of this session is to answer those very questions. After briefly discussing what CosmosDB is, we’ll take some time to discuss why you might use CosmosDB instead of SQL Server or another platform, and finally touch on some basics to get you started with CosmosDB. Upon completion of this session, you will be better equipped to discuss the value of CosmosDB to your organization.
