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.
