Azure Cosmos DB is a globally distributed services from Microsoft. It supports the distribution of apps that requires low latency at a global scale. Native support for all major NoSQL data models – key-value type, document, grapgh, and columnar.
What it actually offers though?
- Probably the only database service that provides 5 well-defined consistency levels (string, bound staleness, session, consistent prefix, eventual)
- Freedom to avoid all-or-nothing tradeoffs encountered with other NoSQL databases
- Ability to index data during ingestion
- Delivery of high availability and low latency – backed by leading service-level agreements (SLAs)
Bonus: It is also fully managed by Microsoft Azure.
