Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL | How it Works

Build highly scalable applications using the distributed Postgres relational database in Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL. See how it works with current Postgres tools, how to scale out with distributed tables and nodes to keep apps responsive, and how to eliminate latency with geo-replication capabilities for globally distributed apps.

Cosmos DB has a variety of APIs, including native NoSQL and compatible APIs, targeted at NoSQL workloads. With the introduction of Postgres, Cosmos DB offers relational capabilities— a key cornerstone for application developers.

With distributed Postgres in Cosmos DB, you can build highly scalable, cloud native apps using NoSQL and relational capabilities within a single managed service. Principal Group Program Manager, Charles Feddersen, from the Cosmos DB team joins Jeremy Chapman to walk you through the process.

Is it just using the name 'cosmos db' or does this actually have something to do with Cosmos DB?

[RowlandGosling]

Solid content and demo! Truly enjoyed this

[TomasJansson]

Really awesome stuff! Can I deploy it using an ARM template now, or do I have to wait for that? (or with pulumi that I'm using, but if it is in arm it will be in pulumi shortly)

[ApolloJKD]

Can we use EF Core in a .NET App to communicate with the CosmosDB PostgresSQL provider?

[TomasJansson]

How do I use the azure storage extension? And can I also use that extension in a local database?

[ahmettek]

How can we even add this in local postgreSQL? Scripts in docs doesn't work for Ubuntu nor Fedora. I can use single node with Docker. Also since this is an extension, could we use this with timescaledb? If we can't use this locally, then at least there should be developer version that is affordable.

May I know what is the main difference here in "Azure cosmosDB for Postgresql"? when compared to "Hyperscale - Azure Postgres deployment mode". I also observed it is removed from deployment model too. Is that means both are same or any extra additions to the "Azure CosmosDB for postgresql"?

Super cool but man is it expensive! @_@
