Also, it's CosmosDB - it has a certain reputation internally in the Azure org...
- geoduck14 5y agoPlease elaborate
- outside1234 5y agoIt sucks, is expensive, and was designed by someone who was fired.
- lloydatkinson 5y agoDo you have some sources? What was they fired for? I thought they got Leslie Lanport to design it
- onionisafruit 5y agoLet me take a wild guess. I bet they work for GitHub now.
- edgyquant 5y agoWhy would he still work for Microsoft if he was fired?
- panda88888 5y agoHe probably is jokingly referring to the Nokia acquisition, which at that time is ran by an ex-Microsoft executive, whom rejoins Microsoft after the acquisition. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2013/09/04/technology/microsoft-acquires-nokia-units-and-leader.amp.html https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2013/09/04/tech...
- scns 5y agoSorry but small correction: s/ran by/ran into the ground by/g
- panda88888 5y agoOh yes, I forgot about that important detail. MS was able to buy at a greatly discounted price due to that.
- plorkyeran 5y agoDo you love MongoDB, but wish it was slower, more expensive, and even less reliable? Then CosmosDB may be the database for you.
- habeebtc 5y agoFrankly, I do not know why people don't build things on Kusto.
- DaiPlusPlus 5y agoI haven't even heard of Kusto until now...
- UK-Al05 5y agoWe use comos and we used to use mongo. It's a lot less hands off then mongo.
- dustinmoris 5y agoSame as Azure Functions. Internally at Microsoft everyone knows that it’s completely broken and they don’t understand why customers use it either. Apparently it was due to an extremely dysfunctional team and certain team members.
- binarytox1n 5y agoWhy are Azure Functions completely broken?
- dustinmoris 5y agoHave a play with AWS Lambda or Google Cloud Functions, then compare that with Azure Functions and you might wonder if what Azure has done is even remotely “serverless” FaaS or just a huge messy clusterfuck of an App Service which is billed per second and overly complicated to manage and observe.
- DaiPlusPlus 5y agoGet something-out-the-door to compete with Lambda and GCF by hacking together an abstraction over Azure App Services - then improve things by version 2?
- manigandham 5y agoAll 3 clouds have the same fundamental architecture. There's no magic "serverless", everything is just compiled down to a container or some executable package, placed on a server, executed as requests come in, and then paused with varying control and scheduling parameters. Azure is a little messier than the rest but the end result is the same.
