Feature Deep Dive: Partition Merge - Ep. 72

This week on Azure Cosmos DB Live TV, we will be joined by Tara Bhatia for a deep dive into a new preview feature that allows you to merge partitions that have low usage. Merging partitions in Azure Cosmos DB allows you to reduce the number of physical partitions used for your container in place. With merge, containers that are fragmented in throughput (have low RU/s per partition) or storage (have low storage per partition) can have their physical partitions reworked. If a container's throughput has been scaled up and needs to be scaled back down, merge can help resolve throughput fragmentation issues. For the same amount of provisioned RU/s, having fewer physical partitions means each physical partition gets more of the overall RU/s. Join us to learn more about this feature and how to enable it for your own workloads.
