DP-3015 Getting Started with Cosmos DB NoSQL Development

This course teaches developers to utilize Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL API and SDK. Students will learn query execution, resource configuration, SDK operations, and design strategies for non-relational data modeling and data partitioning.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL

  • Evaluate Cosmos DB for modern, globally distributed applications.

  • Describe its core features and capabilities.

• Manage Accounts and Resources

  • Create and configure Cosmos DB accounts, databases, containers, and items.

  • Manage throughput (RU/s) and choose between provisioned and serverless options.

• Integrate and Use SDKs

  • Connect applications with the Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL SDK.

  • Enable offline development and handle connection errors effectively.

• Perform Data Operations (CRUD)

  • Execute create, read, update, and delete operations on documents.

  • Configure and manage Time-to-Live (TTL) settings.

• Query NoSQL Data

  • Write and execute queries using the SQL API.

  • Use built-in functions, correlated subqueries, and cross-product queries.

• Design Data Models and Partitioning Strategies

  • Implement efficient non-relational data models based on access patterns.

  • Design effective partition keys for scalability and performance.

• Use Advanced Features

  • Implement stored procedures, triggers, and user-defined functions.

  • Manage multi-item transactions to extend application functionality.

• Optimize and Secure Solutions

  • Apply optimization strategies such as pre-aggregation and denormalization.

  • Secure Cosmos DB resources and integrate with other Azure services.
