Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's a perfect choice for cloud environments with a heavy user base where performance and availability is in high demand. I would not say it's less appropriate because it completely depends on environment to environment and what you are trying to achieve. Overall Azure Cosmos DB also offers high data availability and data security. It's also easy to use.
