At 7:32 there is a typo about partition types. Instead of "two kind od partitions", it should be "two kinds of partitions" :) Thanks Davide T. for letting me know :)

[@RohanHazara]

Still mentioning wrong meaning. You wrote "Two king od partitions". I dont think it does a matter because we understand your good explanation. Good work and keep it on!

Really insightful video! The change feed section caught my eye and I am curious to more about it. My question is: May the change feed facilitate input into source systems, i.e. a online website? Let's say you have a customer that has bought a product and that information is sent to a Cosmos DB that uses SQL API for document storage. Furthermore, that information is sent to a Cosmos DB that uses the Gremlin API to uncover relationships between data, i.e. the customer has bought product A and based on the data we have in Gremlin API DB, the customer might like product B. Then this information is sent back to the website and next time the customer visit the website, the recommendation for product B is there. Wow, this turned out to be quite the message!

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Thanks! Change feed is great, also check out samples with event grid and signalr if you want to build real time applications. Remember that cosmos can't use multiple APIs at the same time so you would need two of them. But sounds like an interesting project and good use-case. Good luck.

[@FXK23]

Shoudn't you avoid joins for cross-query over logical partitions? Isn't it a better idea to introduce some extra property in both container-docs and merge the two conatainers in order to query one logical partition? Great tutorials!

[@AdamMarczakYT]

Partitioning and query optimization is a big topic. And in general you should avoid cross-partition queries as they consume more RUs but it's hard to design database so sometimes you might still need to do it. There is a lot of factors to consider and too many for a simple comment section to fit in. Thanks for watching :)

[@igorr4682]

To all programmers who believe they can teach others solely based on their technical knowledge, it's crucial to recognize that proper English and pronunciation are just as important, if not more so, than your technical expertise. Teaching effectively requires clear communication, and that includes being able to articulate concepts in a way that others can easily understand. So, while your knowledge is undoubtedly valuable, it must be conveyed with clarity through proficient language skills.

Just to make that clear... i have to pay automatically $24 per month, when i use 400 RU? When i reach more than 400 RU, i pay more. I really dont get the payment method... When i have like 20.000 RU per day. Would i pay $1200?

[@AdamMarczakYT]

It's 400 RU/s = Request Units per second not per month. That is 1,000,000,000 request units per month. Also 400 RU/s is within free tier. But yes 20000 RU/s would cost you 1200 USD.

Unfortunately it's not so easy to answer. Both can easily handle this amount of data and transactions, it depends on the use-cases. Cosmos DB might be good options due to multi-master geo distributed DB, but it's not the only option.

1.Why we need to choose cosmos db instead SQL databases ... 2.If I don't know c# can we use powershrell script 3. Is scaling done automatically

[@AdamMarczakYT]

1. You don't 'have' to. You can if it fits your scenario 2. There isn't powershell SDK for cosmos db right now but there are some examples how to use REST API from powershell (example gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/How-to-query-Azure-Cosmos-0a9aa517?WT.mc_id=AZ-MVP-5003556 ) but in my opinion that might be harder than using .NET :) 3.

[@AdamMarczakYT]

You can. I don't think default connector supports this but you should be able to craft HTTP request instead :) This tutorial does it on VM but it should be good enough to transfer this to HTTP call from Logic App docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/tutorial-windows-vm-access-cosmos-db?WT.mc_id=AZ-MVP-5003556 please note that logic apps automatically get tokens sso no need for extra HTTP call.
