Modeling and Partitioning for Azure Cosmos DB
Details
Cosmos DB is Microsoft’s fully managed NoSQL database in Azure. Cosmos DB is a horizontally partitioned database which can provide unlimited storage and performance. However, to achieve that performance, you have to understand how to model and partition data for this type of database. In this session we’ll take an existing relational database that people are familiar with, Adventure Works, and redesign it so it can scale for the cloud.
