Never ever use Azure Cosmos DB. The entire point is to lock you in. This isn’t some paranoid shit either. We use azure a lot, and I have worked with many people designing systems on Azure. Always avoid cloud providers lock in services. That’s their bread and butter. They want you to use them. They want you using Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Event Hubs, Azure Apps, Azure DataLake, etc. Same with AWS. Don’t be naive. Use Azure VMs, Azure Postgres, Azure Redis. Those are fine. You’re just paying someone for the operational cost of a service, but you can migrate of. There is no migration from Cosmos or DataLake. They tell you you can abstract your code, but that never works. They know you will be locked in. That’s the entire business model. Also resist the temptation of the offers they’ll through at you to link those services with all their other crap. Don’t be naive.
