Cost Cutting Strategies for Azure Cosmos DB

Discover cost-cutting strategies for Azure Cosmos DB in this NDC Porto 2022 conference talk by Hasan Savran. Learn about the crucial role of partition keys in distributing requests and storage, and how they optimize query efficiency. Explore the mechanics of physical and logical partitions, and understand the importance of proper data property indexing to reduce costs. Delve into various index types available in Cosmos DB, including how to manage indexing policies for including or excluding data properties. Gain insights on developing affordable, scalable, and fast Azure Cosmos DB solutions, covering topics such as centralized databases, request unit thresholds, cross-partition queries, pagination, indexing modes, composite indexes, index transformation, and the integrated cache feature in public preview.
