In this customer story, you’ll see: ✔️ How Veeam leverages Azure Cosmos DB’s distributed, schema-agnostic architecture and global replication to support massive datasets and high throughput. ✔️ How the search engine handles backup and discovery workloads with efficiency and reliability. ✔️ Real-world lessons on designing for scale, performance, and resiliency when operating across geographies and large user bases. This is a strong blueprint for engineers and architects looking to build search-heavy or data-intensive systems on Azure Cosmos DB. https://msft.it/6046t99Sw #AzureCosmosDB #DistributedDatabases #SearchEngine #CloudArchitecture #Scalability

Just announced: Azure Cosmos DB Mirroring now supports private endpoints (public preview) You can now securely mirror operational data into Microsoft Fabric without opening public network access — unlocking analytics and insights while keeping your network locked down. This is a big step for security-first architectures. 👉 https://msft.it/6042t2m3k #AzureCosmosDB #MicrosoftFabric #PrivateEndpoints #Azure #Security

Azure Cosmos DB is evolving into a search-native database, bringing full-text search, semantic relevance, and vector search directly into the data layer. Instead of stitching together separate databases and search engines, developers can now design simpler architectures while delivering rich, low-latency search experiences at global scale. This post walks through how integrated search in Azure Cosmos DB supports modern application patterns — including AI-driven discovery, relevance ranking, and hybrid search — without sacrificing performance, scalability, or operational simplicity.
