Multi-tenant applications face a fundamental challenge: how to efficiently store and query data for tenants of vastly different sizes? Consider the typical scenario where your platform serves both enterprise clients with hundreds of thousands of users, as well as small businesses with just a handful. With traditional database partitioning strategie...

Integration testing has always presented a fundamental challenge: how do you test your application against real dependencies without the complexity of managing external services? Traditional approaches often involve either mocking dependencies (which can miss integration issues) or maintaining separate test environments (which can be expensive and ...

When building applications that interact with databases, developers frequently encounter scenarios where default SDK configurations don't align with their specific operational requirements. They need to customize SDK behavior to address real-world challenges like network instability, performance bottlenecks, debugging complexity, monitoring require...

The Go programming language is a great fit for building serverless applications. Go applications can be easily compiled to a single, statically linked binary, making deployment simple and reducing external dependencies. They start up quickly, which is ideal for serverless environments where functions are frequently invoked from a cold start. Go app...

If you are new to the Go SDK, the sample chatbot application presented in the blog serves as a practical introduction, covering basic operations like read, upsert, etc. It also demonstrates using the Azure Cosmos DB Linux-based e...

Co-authors: RK Iyer, Mangal Dutta Migrating stateful systems, such as databases, is a complex process. A frequent requirement for customers is to transfer data from DynamoDB to Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL. This process involves several stages, including exporting data from DynamoDB, performing necessary transformations, and importing the data into...

There are lot of benefits to using Docker containers in CI/CD pipelines, especially for stateful systems like databases. For example, when you run integration tests, each CI job can start the database in an isolated container with a clean state, preventing conflicts between tests. This results in a testing environment that is reliable, consistent, ...
