Performance Tuning for Azure Cosmos DB

Hasan Savran

Azure Cosmos DB is a fully managed service that takes database administration off your hands. A fully managed database sounds good, but developers end up with some of the database administration work anyway.

As a developer, you will be responsible for changing indexing policies, configuring connections to Cosmos DB, estimating the workloads, and selecting throughput options for containers. All these tasks determine your application performance and monthly Azure Cosmos DB bill.

We will explore .NET/SDK settings, connection types, and indexing types to keep your application fast. Then we will focus on selecting correct throughput options, query execution metrics, and using the right server-side programming to keep your Cosmos DB fast.
