Azure Cosmos DB is a fully managed, elastically scalable and globally distributed database with a multi-model approach, and provides you with the ability to use document, key-value, wide-column, or graph-based data.
We will drill further into the multi-model capabilities and explore the options that are available to store and access data. Hopefully, it can help you make an informed decision on the right API are the right choice.
- Core (SQL) API: Flexibility of a NoSQL document store combined with the power of SQL for querying.
- MongoDB API: Supports the MongoDB wire protocol so that existing MongoDB client continue to work with Azure Cosmos DB as if they are running against an actual MongoDB database.
- Cassandra API: Supports the Cassandra wire protocol so that existing Apache drivers compliant with CQLv4 continue to work with Azure Cosmos DB as if they are running against an actual Cassandra database.
- Gremlin API: Supports graph data with Apache TinkerPop (a graph computing framework) and the Gremlin query language.
- Table API: Provides premium capabilities for applications written for Azure Table storage.
