Azure Cosmos DB
Azure Cosmos DB is Microsoft's globally distributed, multi-model database service. It can store data as documents, key-value pairs, graphs, or column-family tables, and it automatically replicates across regions for high availability. It provides guaranteed low latency and elastic scalability, making it suitable for mission-critical, global applications. For non-technical readers, Cosmos DB is like a worldwide network of data hubs that stay in sync. No matter where your users are—Europe, Asia, America—they get fast access to their data with minimal delays.
