Something I'd love for you to touch on is how to build multi tenant systems with cosmos db. Especially multi-tenant database per tenant. The limitations on cosmos db (amount of database per account) make it a challenge to implement a fully autonomous system. I want my web api to be able to create the databases for each of my tenants programmatically. I guess using the azure resource manager SDK would be a place to start, maybe ARM templates as well? This topic is very hard to find information on (development wise). Also for cosmos DB do you recommend using entity framework core or the native cosmos SDK?
