Overview of this book

Cosmos DB is a NoSQL database service included in Azure that is continuously adding new features and has quickly become one of the most innovative services found in Azure, targeting mission-critical applications at a global scale. This book starts off by showing you the main features of Cosmos DB, their supported NoSQL data models and the foundations of its scalable and distributed architecture. You will learn to work with the latest available tools that simplify your tasks with Cosmos DB and reduce development costs, such as the Data Explorer in the Azure portal, Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer, and the Cosmos DB Emulator. Next, move on to working with databases and document collections. We will use the tools to run schema agnostic queries against collections with the Cosmos DB SQL dialect and understand their results. Then, we will create a first version of an application that uses the latest .NET Core SDK to interact with Cosmos DB. Next, we will create a second version of the application that will take advantage of important features that the combination of C# and the .NET Core SDK provides, such as POCOs and LINQ queries. By the end of the book, you will be able to build an application that works with a Cosmos DB NoSQL document database with C#, the .NET Core SDK, LINQ, and JSON.

Provisioning a Cosmos DB account that uses the SQL API


In Chapter 1, Introduction to NoSQL in Cosmos DB, we learned about the different elements of the Cosmos DB resource model. Now we will use the web-based Azure portal to provision a Cosmos DB account with the SQL API. Then, we will create a document database, generate a collection for this database, and populate the collection with many JSON documents.

In order to follow the next steps, you have the following three options:

  • Work with an already active Azure account
  • Sign up for a new Azure account
  • Use the limited-time try Cosmos DB for free feature

Note

If you want to work with an already active Azure account, you have to take into account that you will spend credits and, based on your free resources or credits, you can end up being billed for the storage, request units, and bandwidth consumed.

If you don't have an active Azure account, you can take advantage of the free $200 in Azure credits that you will receive to explore the services for...
