Learning Azure Cosmos DB
Microsoft's Azure Cosmos DB is becoming an essential tool for creating powerful global web and mobile applications. This course will teach you how to design databases and build applications using the various Cosmos DB APIs and supported data models.
What you'll learn
Developers today require a thorough knowledge of the NoSQL technologies that lie at the core of global web and mobile applications. In Learning Azure Cosmos DB, you will learn how to utilize Microsoft’s massively scalable, globally distributed, multi-model NoSQL database service. First, you will discover how to provision throughput, partition, and globally distribute your database. Next, you will explore the SQL API and the document data model, build client applications using the .NET SDK, and leverage the server-side programming model with stored procedures, triggers, and user-defined functions. Finally, you will learn how to use the Table API to migrate Azure Table Storage applications and the Gremlin API to build graph databases. When you are finished with this course, you will have a foundational knowledge of Azure Cosmos DB that will help you as you move forward to build your next generation of global applications.
