Because I like having the option to easily import and export the data using MongoDB Compass and other similar software, I primarily use Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB. This allows me to avoid being locked into a particular vendor, and I also like that it can be run as a serverless solution, which allows me to manage costs and pay only for what I actually use.

The Azure Cosmos DB is being used as part of our platform. It is being used to help the existing platform we have to scale with the amount of data that we are storing. The data stored in SQL servers did not scale for us. Reports and graphs generated from the data were slow. Azure Cosmos DB improved performance.

We use it for all large-scale projects, [like] our enterprise customers who need NoSQL database with Open APIs to run the fastest time response to develop advanced and modern applications. We recommended Azure Cosmos DB to anyone because it is so fast to read and write and very useful for very large volumes of data. It’s scalable instantly and automatically serverless database for any serious large business.

Azure Cosmos is used in a department that does a lot of analytics work and deals with big data. Typically we have systems hosted in AWS or Azure. The ones hosted in Azure datacenters rely on Azure Cosmos databases. That being said, the downstream users are scattered globally. Azure Cosmos DB is fast and reliable.

It's currently used for our e-Commerce enterprise platform to serve online customers to fulfill their online purchases. Currently we started using it for our ordering platform and plan to use it across multiple departments like marketing, finance, etc. As customers are growing rapidly for our system and we recently moved to a cloud platform, Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB offers high scalability and performance.

We use Azure Cosmos DB as our preferred NoSQL store for custom application development for our clients. It solves many of the onboarding hurdles for graph databases in particular, and the automatic indexing features make it ideal for a variety of scenarios across document and table storage as well. We rely on Cosmos DB when we need high availability, globally-distributed access with very low latency, and always-ready compute over data. In the past two years, I've found our team moving away from relational databases more and more as we're discovering ways to apply NoSQL much more cost-effectively than what could be done with an RDBMS.
