Database

Azure Cosmos DB

Azure Cosmos DB is a globally distributed, multi-model database service offered by Microsoft Azure.

While it supports various data models, its graph capabilities are powered by the Gremlin API.

This API provides a comprehensive graph model and a traversal language for navigating and querying connected data within Cosmos DB.

Key features include horizontal scalability for handling massive datasets, low-latency access with multi-region replication, and guaranteed high availability.

The Gremlin API allows it to store and process graph data at scale, leveraging the underlying distributed infrastructure of Cosmos DB.

Because it's a managed service, it provides built-in high availability and automatic scaling without requiring manual management.
