Azure Cosmos DB Documentation
Azure Cosmos DB is a globally distributed, multi-model database service. Use these quickstarts, tutorials, and samples to develop document, key-value, wide-column, and graph databases by using popular APIs and programming models. Then learn how to replicate your data across any number of Azure regions and scale your throughput independent from your storage, while benefiting from comprehensive SLAs.
Concepts
Learn about global distribution, partitioning, indexing, and other concepts that apply to all of the Azure Cosmos DB APIs.
SQL API
Use the SQL API if you're building a new non-relational document database and want to query using familiar SQL syntax.
Gremlin API
Use the Gremlin API if you're building a graph database to model and traverse relationships among entities.
MongoDB API
Use the MongoDB API if you are migrating data from a MongoDB database to Azure Cosmos DB's fully managed service.
Table API
Use the Table API if you are migrating data from Azure Table storage to Azure Cosmos DB's premium table offering.
Cassandra API
Use the Cassandra API if you are migrating data from Cassandra to Azure Cosmos DB's fully managed service.
