Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL

Microsoft via Microsoft Learn

Overview

  • Module 1: In this module, you'll learn how to model, build, and alter a scalable, distributed, relational database in Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL.

    In this module, you will:

    • Identify key considerations for modeling data for Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL.
    • Classify tables in Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL.
    • Create tables within an Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL cluster.
    • Alter tables within an Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL cluster.
  • Module 2: Understand how data is distributed across Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL to efficiently ingest and query data across the cluster.

    By the end of this module, you'll be able to:

    • Identify data ingestion techniques in Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL.
    • Run queries on distributed data in Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL.
    • Examine ways to view data distribution.
  • Module 3: In this module, you learn how to use PostgreSQL extensions to enhance and extend the functionality of Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL allows you to extend the functionality of a database by using extensions. Extensions allow for bundling multiple related SQL objects together in a single package that can be loaded or removed from the database with a single command. After being loaded in the database, extensions can function like built-in features.

    By the end of this module, you'll be able to:

    • Install different extensions available in Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL.
    • Extend the functionality of an Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL database using extensions.
  • Module 4: Learn how to scale and rebalance data, create read replicas, and enable high availability on an Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL cluster.

    By the end of this module, you're able to:

    • Scale and rebalance data in an Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL cluster to accommodate data growth
    • Add a read replica to a region in Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL to address analytics demans
    • Configure high availability for Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL to ensure data is available when the users need it
  • Module 5: In this module, you learn how to grow from a single-node, nondistributed cluster to a multi-node, distributed cluster by using Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL.

    In this module, you'll:

    • Create a single-node instance of Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL.
    • Identify changes to upgrade an existing single-node, nondistributed cluster to a multi-node, distributed cluster.
    • Scale the database and distribute the data across multiple nodes.
  • Module 6: Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL is the ideal database from hosting PostgreSQL at any scale. The distributed architecture allows multitenant software as a service (SaaS) application providers to easily scale from a single-node to a multi-node distributed cluster as the number of tenants grows.

    By the end of this module, you'll be able to:

    • Prepare tables that are in a single-node database for distribution.
    • Transition from a single-node database to a multi-node database by using Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL.
    • Distribute multitenant tables with minimal application impact.
    • Monitor the utilization of multitenant databases by using Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL.
