Azure Cosmos DB with Josh Lane

Are you ready to go into the cosmos? With apologies to the late Carl Sagan, let's talk about Cosmos DB! While at NDC in Oslo, Carl and Richard talked to Josh Lane about Cosmos DB which was first announced at the Build conference. Cosmos DB is a globally distributed multi-modal database.

Josh digs into the various scenarios for an ultra-fast distributed storage solution like this - a great example of platform-as-a-service!
