Join us for our 6th annual Azure Cosmos DB Conf, a free virtual developer event co-hosted by Microsoft and the Azure Cosmos DB community.
Tune in to learn why Azure Cosmos DB—including Azure DocumentDB, the newly renamed vCore-based Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL—is the leading database platform for the era of AI and modern app development. Dive into a dynamic mix of sessions from Microsoft and community experts, showcasing their innovative projects and breakthroughs.
Join our engaging 3-hour live show on April 28, 2026, and explore additional sessions on-demand.
This is an event you won't want to miss!

Practical, high-signal talks that help builders ship with Azure Cosmos DB and the DocumentDB ecosystem.
Architecture tradeoffs, reliability, cost optimization, and performance debugging.
Show a pattern end-to-end: data modeling, partitioning, query design, and operations.
Tooling, SDKs, data pipelines, observability, and app patterns.
Designing for scale, hot partition avoidance, hierarchical partition keys, and access patterns.
RU optimization, indexing strategies, query tuning, and troubleshooting latency.
Multi-region strategies, change feed patterns, backup/restore, and incident readiness.
Chat history, contextual memory, RAG patterns, and (where relevant) vector search usage.
Be explicit about what attendees will learn, who it’s for, and what they can apply immediately.
We love honest lessons learned and the tradeoffs that shaped your architecture decisions.
Hands-on demos and specific guidance resonate most with builders attending the event.
