Tutorial: CosmosDB – Database for Serverless Era

A SkillsCast for this session is not available.

The classic approach is not good enough. You expect to be able to have a solution in which we will have instant access to all data, schema-less date structure, scalable throughput and global replication. CosmosDB fulfils all of those requirements.

During this session, you will learn using CosmosDb in your Serverless solutions. Michal will start with a short introduction of this service, and he will present most essential features of CosmosBD. Then you will be able to learn how you can store and query data with this product. You will then try to build your first Serverless solution that will use CosmosDB as a database. Finally, you will play with query optimisation.

Michal would like to show you that you can improve performance and reduce your solution costs by few simple actions.

Please install or organise the following elements:

• Working Azure account where people will be able to deploy Cosmos Db. Of course, it can be a test account (must)
• Visual Studio 2017 version 15.8.x with Functions Tools for Visual Studio extension installed (must)
• Postman (must)
• Cosmos DB Data Migration tool (must)
• Azure Storage Explorer

Unfortunately, without those tools it will be hard for you to take part in this workshop.
