Based on the feedback here, it's hard to imagine anyone choosing Cosmos DB over Spanner or just CockroachDB. I'm not familiar with the AWS equivalent, but it seems like Azure isn't exactly setting the bar high.
- manigandham 8y agoSpanner and CockroachDB are distributed relational databases. CosmosDB is a JSON-based document store. It offers interfaces that emulate the ability to use SQL/Cassandra SQL/Azure Table/Gremlin graphs but this doesn't necessarily add functionality like relational joins.
- jjirsa 8y agoReally? You can’t figure out why someone might use a Microsoft hosted db over one at google or one they’d have to run themselves? Azure’s growth rate is amazing. There’s a ton of adoption there that doesn’t have access to spanner, or maybe has a document based data model, where spanner / cockroach doesn’t make any sense
