Azure Cosmos DB is a globally distributed, multi-model database service for any scale. The service was built from the ground up with global distribution and horizontal scale at its core.
With turnkey global distribution across any number of Azure regions, Azure Cosmos DB transparently scales and replicates your data wherever your users are. Elastically scale your writes and reads all around the globe and pay only for what you need. Azure Cosmos DB provides native support for NoSQL and OSS APIs, including MongoDB, Cassandra, Gremlin, etcd, Spark, and SQL. It also offers multiple well-defined consistency models, guaranteed single-digit-millisecond read and write latencies at the 99th percentile, and guaranteed 99.999-percent high availability with multi-homing anywhere in the world—all backed by industry-leading, comprehensive SLAs.
Azure Cosmos DB is a fully managed service that enables you to offload the administrative burdens of operating and scaling distributed databases to Azure, so you don’t have to worry about managing VMs, hardware provisioning, setup and configuration, capacity, replication, software patching, or cluster scaling.
