Intelligent App Development with Project Miyagi and Semantic Kernel (SK) - Ep 83

This week on Azure Cosmos DB Live TV Mark Brown speaks to Principal Solution Specialist Govind Kamtamneni about Semantic Kernel and intelligent app development. Govind will conduct a walkthrough of the material presented on https://iappwksp.com, accompanied by a presentation deck that explains why applications need to be transformed with AI, focusing on the case for the post-modernization of cloud-native, event-driven apps. This will include an "art of the possible" showcase featuring an MVP version of Project Miyagi, demonstrating how it integrates intelligence with SK and incorporates in-context learning, such as prompt engineering.

Using Azure Cosmos DB as a Cloud Distributed Lock - Ep. 81

This week on Azure Cosmos DB Live TV, Mark Brown welcomes Principal Software Engineering Manager Brian Dunnington to chat about using Azure Cosmos DB as a cloud-distributed Lock. Locks are a helpful programming concept to ensure only one thread enters a code block at a time. But it can be hard to achieve this behavior in distributed cloud scenarios where your app is scaled across multiple machines. Using Azure Cosmos DB's optimistic concurrency and TTL support, you can build a distributed locking mechanism that provides this behavior across different machines - very useful for scenarios such as preventing duplicate usernames on sites with high traffic volume could otherwise result in collisions. In the session, we will configure an Azure Cosmos DB and live code a demo app to show the cloud locking in action.

Estimating Workload Throughput with Azure Cosmos DB Capacity Planner: A Practical Guide - Ep 80

This week on Azure Cosmos DB TV Live, your host Mark Brown welcomes Microsoft Program Manager Abhinav Tripathi to discuss the Azure Cosmos DB Capacity Planner tool. They'll discuss the concept of Request Units and how you can utilize the capacity planner to estimate your workload’s throughput requirement in different scenarios. Abhinav will also talk about different factors that lead to higher RU consumption. Learn how to plan and save when using Azure Cosmos DB!

Leveraging Azure Cosmos DB Session Consistency with ASP.NET Core - Ep 79

On the next Azure Cosmos DB Live TV, your host Mark Brown welcomes Senior Software Engineer Paul Malmsten on building great customer experiences with user-centric horizontally scaled ASP.NET Core apps using session consistency. We'll see what happens when scaling a simple API app from 1 to N replicas on Kubernetes, explore how session tokens fit into a solution, and try out a drop-in library that makes it trivial to set up per-customer Azure Cosmos DB sessions using HTTP cookies.

Exploring Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB vCore: Harness the Power of Scalability and Flexibility Ep. 78

In this session, Gahl Levy will introduce you to the new Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB vCore, a game-changing offering that combines scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness for MongoDB developers. We'll delve into its key features, discuss the differences between vCore and RU architectures, and demonstrate how you can seamlessly integrate it into your existing applications.

Managing Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL clusters with REST APIs - Ep. 77

Now you can manage Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL clusters using REST APIs. All of the management operations such as cluster provisioning, scaling out a cluster by adding more nodes, user role management on cluster nodes, Postgres server parameters update, and other management operations are fully supported via REST API calls. You can automate your routine cluster management operations or set up experiments with distributed Postgres without the need to use the Azure portal.

Benchmark Azure Cosmos DB with Benchmarking Framework for Azure Databases - Ep 76

This week on Azure Cosmos DB Live TV, Ravi Tella and Naveen Kumar Singh join your host Mark Brown to discuss benchmarking your Azure Cosmos DB deployment. While many factors influence the choice of a database, one factor that is always important is performance. Benchmarking Framework for Azure Databases provides an easy-to-use framework for measuring the performances of Azure databases. In this session, you will learn how to measure the performance of Azure Cosmos DB with “1-click” using the Benchmarking Framework. Learn how Ravi and Naveen could do 1M reads per second and 1M writes per second in their benchmark of Azure Cosmos DB!

Data API Builder for Azure Cosmos DB - Under the Spotlight - Ep 75

This week on Azure Cosmos DB Live TV, your host Mark Brown welcomes Microsoft Senior Program Manager Sajee as they unpack the new functionality "Data Api Builder for Azure Cosmos DB" to that allows customers to instantly build a GraphQL API. They'll discuss the Architecture, benefits and how to easily get started. Sajee will also show an end-to-end demo which demonstrates the capabilities of Data API Builder.
