How is CosmosDB working for y'all?

  I'm not there anymore, I left a few years back. These are my opinions and I'm sure things have changed pretty drastically since. Cosmos was expensive. I mean, really really expensive. Microsoft promised it would solve a lot of our problems and I'm not fully convinced it ever did. The client was insanely bizarre, the protocol was very complex and convoluted and the library code was almost (or maybe it ultimately was) transferred to ZEIT's ownership since we were pretty much the only ones working on it at the time. Microsoft certainly wanted to have some agreement about that; to what end, I'm not sure. I remember a lot of headaches. We were also entirely on our own with it as it was pretty opaque to work with. Very little public examples and we had to contact Microsoft quite a lot for help if memory serves.
