SQL Server vs Azure Cosmos DB
Do you need to move your legacy application to the cloud? or maybe you need to select a database for a new cloud project. This session will help you by comparing the functionalities of Azure SQL and Azure Cosmos DB in detail.
We will start the session by explaining the differences between distributed databases and centralized databases. We will compare indexing, stored procedures, partitioning, constraints, and scaling in these two great products. Next,
We will explore the available tools and languages to query and maintain the Azure Cosmos DB. Finally, we will compare the query optimization engine and execution plans between the two database engines.
This session will help you to understand and make the right decision for your upcoming cloud projects.
This session brings SQL Server and Azure Cosmos DB side-by-side and compares the two products in detail.
Cost cutting strategies for Azure Cosmos DB
It is often assumed that Azure Cosmos DB is an expensive database. However, the cost of using Azure Cosmos DB is determined by how you configure your database and data model.
Your expenses are based on the amount of Azure resources your application uses for your Azure Cosmos DB account. Partitioning, Indexing Policies, and data models control your database power and your expenses.
This session will help you gain a full understanding of Azure Cosmos DB's partitioning and indexing features with several demonstrations. The first half of this session will focus on partitioning, with a few real-life examples. You will learn about physical and logical partitions and how to balance the number of physical partitions.
The second half of the session will focus on indexing policies. You will learn how to manage indexing policies to include or exclude properties of your data models.
A to Z Cosmos DB
Azure Cosmos DB is a battle-tested non-relational database service by Microsoft. It is utilized by many mission-critical applications, including Xbox, Office 365, Azure, and Skype.
This workshop will provide a comprehensive understanding of Azure Cosmos DB's architecture, features, and tools. We will begin with an overview of Azure Cosmos DB's infrastructure and architecture and then delve into its key features and advantages. Additionally, we will utilize the Cosmos DB Emulator for development purposes. Furthermore, we will examine the Data Migration tool for importing and transforming data, as well as explore stored procedures, available SDKs, and the Rest API of Cosmos DB. Finally, we will conclude the session by configuring the Change Feed functionality using Azure Functions.

How to use Geospatial Data in SQL Server
If you are interested in learning more about Spatial Data but don’t know where to start, this session is for you. We will begin by focusing on what Spatial Data is through examples and interactive demo’s. The goal is to show how Spatial Data can improve your professional experience and serve as an asset to your business.
I will introduce you to Spatial Data in the SQL server and show how to import data into SQL Server. We will focus on demonstrations of the SQL Server 2016 and JSON functions used to create geoJSON objects from Spatial Data. Next we will cache these objects by using In-Memory tables with the help of SQL Server 2017.
Please join me as we explore how to use SQL server to handle your Geospatial data needs.
What do Graph Tables bring to the table
There are many ways to represent data. Most of us are stuck with relational database data models, and we don't feel comfortable when data is represented differently.
Graph Processing Tables are another way to represent data; they can change how you look at the data. Relational Databases don't adapt well to changes. Adding a new domain or relation to your data model should not be that difficult. You want to create flexible data models that evolve with your business process.
Thanks to SQL Server, you can integrate the knowledge gained in this session into your business without investing in new or unapproved technologies.
Please Join me to learn how to create flexible data models with Graph Database tables.
Join me to learn what can Graph Database Tables can do for your projects.
Performance tuning for Azure Cosmos DB
Azure Cosmos DB is a fully managed database service, freeing developers from database management tasks. However, as a developer, you still have important responsibilities, such as changing indexing policies, configuring connections, estimating workloads, and selecting the right throughput options. All of these tasks have a direct impact on the performance and cost of your application.
To keep your application running smoothly and fast, we'll explore the .NET/SDK settings, connection types, and indexing types. We'll also focus on selecting the right throughput options, using Query Execution Metrics and server-side programming.
Join me as we explore how to optimize your Azure Cosmos DB solutions for the best performance.
Azure Cosmos DB is a fully managed service that takes database administration off your hands. A fully Managed Database sounds good, but developers end up with some database administration work anyway.
Please join me as we explore how to keep your Azure Cosmos DB solutions fast.
Exciting new features in SQL Server for developers
With every new version of SQL Server, we get more features. Microsoft has developed these new features to keep SQL Server modern, competitive, and developer-friendly.
With its new features, SQL Server can simplify and enhance your software architecture diagram. We will explore these new features by examining the latest versions of SQL Server, including Azure SQL.
We will cover the following features :
- JSON in SQL Server.
- Using Graph Tables for interconnected data and relationships.
- In-memory tables for caching.
- New Functions.
Data modeling strategies in NoSQL databases
Having a NoSQL database doesn't mean data modeling is unnecessary because of the no-schema concept. A well-designed data model is crucial for NoSQL databases, as it determines scalability, performance, and cost.
We will start the session by reviewing the JSON format specifications. Then, we will collaborate to create a sample NoSQL data model and understand how to manage NULL and undefined values in NoSQL databases.
In distributed databases, an important task is to select a property that evenly distributes data and traffic. You will learn the consequences of choosing a suitable or unsuitable partition key for your data models. We will conclude the session by creating materialized views that may assist you with cross-partition queries.
If you are working or planning to work on a project with a NoSQL database, this session is for you!
AI without a proper database is like a chef without ingredients - all sizzle, no steak!
Selecting the appropriate database for your project can be a difficult task. To achieve business success, it is crucial to have a scalable and easy-to-analyze operational database that incorporates AI capabilities.
Join Hasan for an exciting exploration of Azure Cosmos DB from multiple angles, covering topics such as creating scalable solutions, vector-based data modeling, and meeting the AI demands of today's businesses. Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and stay ahead of the competition.
Utilizing Azure OpenAI with enterprise data.
Using enterprise data is the best way to demonstrate the success of a new service such as Azure OpenAI to your managers, and business leaders.
This session will help you better understand how to work with this new technology using enterprise data. You will learn how to create vectors from your enterprise data and export them to a modern database like Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB Vcore, which can query vectors. Then, you will learn how to connect Azure OpenAI with your new vectorized database. This will allow you to analyze your enterprise data in a new and improved way that your business leaders will appreciate.
By the end of this session, you will be equipped with the tools and insights to implement Azure OpenAI into your organization's workflow effectively.
