Cosmos DB - More than just a database

In this demo filled session, you will discover how to make the most of CosmosDB. We’ll use a fictional coffee shop chain as an example to demonstrate how you can use CosmosDB’s various features and integrations to create a central hub for all your data. We’ll show you how to ingest data using Azure Functions, utilize the Change Feed, enable searching with Azure Search, and perform near real-time analytics with Azure Synapse and Power BI. All of this is achievable with just a few lines of code, regardless of your experience as a database administrator.
