Follow-up on the session at Cosmos DB Conf

This is a follow-up post to the session "Design and implementation of Cosmos DB Change Feed-centric architecture" that @miyake and I spoke at Cosmos DB Conf.

• Azure Cosmos DB Conf

It introduces an actual example and implementation of the architecture using Cosmos DB Change Feed.

Live stream and slides

The video and slides of the session are already available. The session itself is conducted in Japanese, but all the slides are prepared in English.

It takes advantage of the high availability and performance of the Cosmos DB Change Feed to make the lambda architecture completely serverless.

Cosmos DB is very reliable, but there are a few caveats that need to be taken into account in order to increase the reliability of the overall architecture.

Here is a related post that picks up on some of the important points.
