Course Overview
The “Designing and Implementing Cloud-Native Applications Using Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB” course by Microsoft is crafted to provide a deep understanding of how to build and deploy scalable, highly available, and performant cloud-native applications using Azure Cosmos DB. The course begins by introducing the core concepts and features of Azure Cosmos DB, including its globally distributed, multi-model capabilities and its support for various data models such as document, key-value, graph, and column-family.
Participants will explore how to leverage Cosmos DB’s features for designing resilient architectures that can handle large volumes of data and high request rates. The course covers practical aspects of data modeling, query optimization, and partitioning strategies, helping students to effectively structure their data for optimal performance and scalability.
Additionally, the course emphasizes the importance of understanding consistency models and how they impact application performance and user experience. Students will learn how to choose the appropriate consistency level based on their application’s requirements and how to manage and monitor their Cosmos DB instances to ensure they meet performance and reliability goals.
