Experiences from 7 years of Cosmos DB

Cosmos DB is a powerful tool. It may look simple on the cover, since "it just works", but the performance and cost optimizations are rarely simple.

 

This presentation looks at Cosmos DB from a few different viewpoints. We look at experiences gained from some real-world cases and stories, from mistakes made and successful optimizations done. At the end, we draw a couple of best practices from these experiences.

 

This presentation is aimed for developers / data engineers, and can at times be on advanced level, although for the most part the talk will be aimed at intermediate audience.
