Getting Started with Cosmos DB NoSQL Development (DP-3015)
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL, a fully managed, globally distributed database service that supports multiple data models and enables high-performance, scalable applications. Designed for developers and database administrators, this course covers everything from basic concepts to advanced techniques, providing you with the skills needed to effectively use Cosmos DB for NoSQL in real-world scenarios.
The course begins with an Introduction to Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL, where you'll learn what Cosmos DB is, how it works, and when to use it. This section provides a foundational understanding of the NoSQL database, including its core functionalities and advantages in modern application development.
Next, in the Try Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL module, you'll explore available resources and review basic operations to get hands-on experience with the database. This section is designed to familiarize you with the Cosmos DB environment and its capabilities.
In the Plan Resource Requirements section, you'll learn about throughput, data storage requirements, and time-to-live (TTL) settings. You'll evaluate your application's throughput needs and understand how to plan for data retention effectively using TTL configurations, ensuring optimal performance and cost-efficiency.
The Configure Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL Database and Containers module dives into setting up databases and containers. You'll explore different throughput options, including serverless, provisioned, and autoscale modes, and learn how to migrate between these modes based on your workload requirements.
You'll then move on to the Use the Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL SDK section, which covers the SDK's functionalities. You'll learn to connect to an online account, implement client singletons, and configure connectivity modes, enhancing your ability to work with Cosmos DB programmatically.
In Configure the Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL SDK, you'll learn how to enable offline development, handle connection errors, implement threading and parallelism, and configure logging. These skills will help you build robust, resilient applications that leverage Cosmos DB effectively.
The course also covers Implement Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL Point Operations, where you'll understand point operations, including creating, reading, updating, and deleting documents. You will also learn to configure TTL values for specific documents, giving you control over data lifecycle management.
In Query the Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL, you'll learn to use SQL-like query language within Cosmos DB, creating and executing complex queries. Topics include projecting query results, type-checking, and using built-in functions, equipping you with the skills to retrieve data efficiently.
The Author Complex Queries with Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL module delves into advanced querying techniques, such as cross-product queries, correlated subqueries, variable usage, and pagination of query results, allowing you to handle sophisticated data retrieval scenarios.
Next, you'll learn how to Implement a Non-Relational Data Model. This section covers the differences between NoSQL and relational databases, identifying access patterns, deciding when to embed or reference data, choosing partition keys, and modeling small lookup entities, essential for optimizing database performance.
The course concludes with the Design a Data Partitioning Strategy module, which covers denormalizing data, managing referential integrity using change feed, and combining multiple entities within a container. You'll also learn how to finalize your data model to maximize efficiency and scalability.
By the end of this course, you'll have a thorough understanding of Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL, equipping you with the knowledge and skills to design, develop, and manage NoSQL databases effectively. You'll be well-prepared to apply these concepts to your applications, ensuring robust, high-performance, and scalable solutions.
