Azure Cosmos DB is a cloud database platform offering global distribution, automatic scaling and multiple data models within a single service. It functions as a vector and NoSQL database with support for document, graph, column and key-value models via different APIs.
The platform delivers guaranteed sub-10ms latency at the 99th percentile and offers built-in worldwide replication with five consistency levels. Cosmos DB handles everything from small serverless apps to large, high-performance AI and real-time solutions without you managing the infrastructure.
Azure Cosmos DB is intended for developers who need a flexible database capable of global scale, multiple data models and high availability - all without administering servers or clusters. It’s excellent for modern web, mobile and AI-driven applications thanks to global distribution, serverless options, native support for multiple APIs (including SQL, MongoDB, Cassandra, Gremlin and PostgreSQL) and recent investments in vector search.
