NoSQL Database for High Performance & Scalability | How to Get Started with Azure Cosmos DB
Updates to the managed, limitless scale, NoSQL Azure Cosmos DB database. For your smaller apps, get the best cost performance with the new serverless option for on-demand querying and the Azure Cosmos DB free tier for provisioned throughput. For larger workloads, embed and partition your data, and leverage autoscale for cost optimizations. Estefani Arroyo, Azure Cosmos DB Program Manager, joins host Jeremy Chapman to share updates and benefits of Azure Cosmos DB.
