Azure Cosmos DB

Overview of Azure Cosmos DB

Azure Cosmos DB is Microsoft's fully managed NoSQL and vector database service designed for building AI-powered applications at any scale. This serverless database platform enables developers to create intelligent agents, copilots, and multi-agent applications while efficiently handling massive volumes of NoSQL and vector data. With built-in vector search capabilities, Azure Cosmos DB simplifies AI application development by allowing seamless storage and querying of vector embeddings alongside traditional document data.

As a comprehensive database solution, Azure Cosmos DB supports multiple API models including native NoSQL, MongoDB compatibility, and PostgreSQL-based DocumentDB. The platform offers exceptional scalability with dynamic automatic scaling, consumption-based serverless options, and a generous free tier for development and testing. Perfect for modern applications requiring low latency and high throughput, Azure Cosmos DB serves diverse use cases across AI APIs & SDKs, Database Solutions, and Cloud Storage.

How to Use Azure Cosmos DB

Getting started with Azure Cosmos DB involves creating an Azure account and provisioning a Cosmos DB instance through the Azure portal. Developers can choose their preferred API model – whether native NoSQL for the best Azure integration, MongoDB for existing MongoDB compatibility, or DocumentDB for PostgreSQL-based document storage. The platform provides comprehensive SDKs for popular programming languages, enabling seamless integration with applications. With the free tier, developers can immediately begin building and testing AI applications, implementing vector search, and setting up RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) pipelines without initial cost commitments.
