Benefit of using Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB applications

Benefit of using Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB applications

Bobby Varghese

Azure Cosmos DB is Microsoft’s globally distributed, multi-model database service for mission-critical applications. Azure Cosmos DB provides turn-key global distribution, elastic scaling of throughput and storage worldwide, single-digit millisecond latencies at the 99th percentile, and guaranteed high availability, all backed by industry-leading SLAs. Azure Cosmos DB automatically indexes data without requiring you to deal with schema and index management. It is multi-model and supports document, key-value, graph, and columnar data models.

 

Azure Cosmos DB databases can be used as the data store for apps written for MongoDB. This functionality means that by using existing drivers, your application written for MongoDB can now communicate with Azure Cosmos DB and use Azure Cosmos DB databases instead of MongoDB databases.

 

Using this functionality, you can easily build and run MongoDB globally distributed database applications in the Azure cloud with Azure Cosmos DB and it’s comprehensive industry-leading SLAs while continuing to use familiar skills and tools for MongoDB.

You can develop applications using MongoDB and deploy them to production using the fully managed, and globally distributed Azure Cosmos DB service.

 

Benefits of using Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB applications

 

Elastically scalable throughput and storage

Easily scale up and down your MongoDB database as per your application need. For low predictable latencies, data is stored in solid-state disks (SSD). Azure Cosmos DB supports MongoDB collections that can scale to virtually unlimited storage sizes and provisioned throughput. You can elastically scale Azure Cosmos DB with predictable performance seamlessly as your application grows.

 

Multi-region replication

Azure Cosmos DB transparently replicates your data to all regions you’ve associated with your MongoDB account, enabling you to develop applications that require global access to data while providing tradeoffs between consistency, availability, and performance, all with corresponding guarantees.

 

No server management

Azure Cosmos DB is a fully managed service, which means you do not have to manage any infrastructure or Virtual Machines yourself.

 

Automatic indexing

By default, Azure Cosmos DB automatically indexes all the properties within documents in your MongoDB database and does not expect or require any schema or creation of secondary indices

 

Enterprise grade

Azure Cosmos DB supports multiple local replicas to deliver 99.99% availability and data protection in the face of local and regional failures.

Data center Transformation; first step to Digital Transformation

Bobby Varghese

Digital Transformation has been the buzz word for quite a period of time now. It involves not just the introduction of new technologies, but modification of existing business processes and models to fully leverage those technologies. This empowers the company to gain unparalleled levels of productivity, improves the customer experience, drive innovation and competitive upper hand.

On a theoretical level, it sounds great but when put into practice it’s extremely challenging. It is difficult to transform your organization when you are struggling to maintain and manage legacy IT architecture

Most organizations still allocate upwards of 80% of the IT budget towards “Keeping the lights ON”

 

 

For many organizations, the challenges begin with the data center infrastructure. High latency network lacks the capacity and scalability to support rapidly changing technology demands. Power and cooling costs continue to increase, further straining IT budgets. Digital transformation must start with data center transformation to ensure the right foundation is in place.

Azure Cosmos DB: NoSQL capabilities

Ajith George

NoSQL is an approach to database design that can accommodate a wide variety of data models, including key-value, document, columnar and graph formats.

NoSQL, which stands for “not only SQL,” is an alternative to traditional relational databases in which data is placed in tables and data schema is carefully designed before the database is built.

Microsoft Azure provides a fully managed NoSQL database service built for fast and predictable performance, high availability, elastic scaling, global distribution, and ease of development.
