What we’re looking for

Practical, high-signal talks that help builders ship with Azure Cosmos DB and the DocumentDB ecosystem.

• Real-world lessons learned

  Architecture tradeoffs, reliability, cost optimization, and performance debugging.

• Demos and hands-on walkthroughs

  Show a pattern end-to-end: data modeling, partitioning, query design, and operations.

• Ecosystem and integrations

  Tooling, SDKs, data pipelines, observability, and app patterns.

Suggested topic areas

• Data modeling and partitioning

  Designing for scale, hot partition avoidance, hierarchical partition keys, and access patterns.

• Performance and cost

  RU optimization, indexing strategies, query tuning, and troubleshooting latency.

• Reliability and global scale

  Multi-region strategies, change feed patterns, backup/restore, and incident readiness.

• AI app patterns

  Chat history, contextual memory, RAG patterns, and (where relevant) vector search usage.

Before you submit

• Keep it audience-first

  Be explicit about what attendees will learn, who it’s for, and what they can apply immediately.

• Prefer specifics over buzzwords

  Concrete architecture details, metrics, and results make proposals stand out.

• Check the CFP site for the latest details

  Session length, formats, deadlines, and review timelines can change—treat the CFP site as the source of truth.
