In this, our very first episode, we talk with Shane Castle and Dave Judd all about Microsoft Azure's database service offering, Cosmos DB. We explore what Cosmos DB is, what problems it solves, how it stacks up to other databases such as SQL, Firebase, Mongo DB, etc., and why you may want to consider using Cosmos DB in the development of your next application. If you've heard about Cosmos DB but you're not really sure what's it all about, this is a great place to start.
