I was today years old when I learned about this. Why is nobody talking about this? 💊 This is great what he is doing, unlike most billionaires... 👍🏼 @mcuban.bsky.social

Not many people know that Microsoft Teams runs on Cosmos DB. Even fewer people know that they do TRILLIONS of transactions per day on Petabytes of data. Learn how and why they use Cosmos DB. devblogs.microsoft.com/cosmosdb/pow...

If you're going to Microsoft BUILD come learn how to build multi-agent apps using Semantic Kernel in C# or LangGraph in Python at our hands-on-lab. build.microsoft.com/en-US/sessio... There's another earlier delivery as well.

Ep. 104 of #AzureCosmosDB TV is here! 🎥 High-Scale Data Processing over 1000s of Devices with Expanso See how Expanso + Azure Cosmos DB handle 50M records in under a minute with 1,000 edge nodes 🌍 📺 youtu.be/F2VMVjSxIHY #EdgeComputing #DistributedSystems #NoSQL

Come check out the latest for @azurecosmosdb.com and see the exiting things customers are building at Cosmos DB Conf. Streaming live NOW!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXSu...

I just updated our Samples Gallery with our latest great sample apps. 1. Multi-agent sample using OpenAI Swarm and Cosmos DB. 2. Full-day workshop building multi-agent apps using LangGraph in Python or Semantic Kernel Agents in C#. azurecosmosdb.github.io/gallery/

We built a new 1-day workshop on building Multi-Agent AI Apps. Choose your own adventure and learn using LangGraph (python) or Semantic Kernel Agents (C#), or both. All the code is here. Deploy/run full sample on main branch or use start branch for workshop. github.com/AzureCosmosD...

New Video Series Alert! 🎬 Learn how to optimize performance, reduce costs, and scale efficiently with Azure Cosmos DB Design Patterns! 🚀 Watch now: aka.ms/AzureCosmosD... #AzureCosmosDB

Enjoying Tet with a Vietnamese salted cream iced coffee. Great way to start the new year.

📊 Ever wondered what embeddings are and how they power AI applications? 🤔 @markjbrown.com breaks it down in this short video, covering everything from LLMs to recommendation engines! 🚀 📺 Watch now: youtu.be/wF8xsL4w0_I #AzureCosmosDB #AI

Distributed databases talk with @markjbrown.com We covered: • Scaling OUT (adding nodes) vs. UP (bigger servers) • Why partitioning is so important • How session-level consistency lets you read your writes without the cost of full strong consistency www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wv0q...

Got to sit down with Professor @andypavlo.bsky.social on the latest @convex.dev Databased podcast for his 2024 databases year in review! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B-M...

Lolz

Customers have been asking us to make it easier to automatically generate embeddings on their data in @azurecosmosdb.com So we created this: devblogs.microsoft.com/cosmosdb/emb... This sample shows how to use a Cosmos DB Trigger & Output binding in Functions to do it automatically.

Embeddings are at the heart of how an LLM works. But understanding how they work is hard. To help, I created a simple Python Notebook that takes an array of words and plots them in a 3D graph to show how the compare in a multi-dimensional space. Feel free to check out. github.com/AzureCosmosD...

Notre Dame in Paris re-opens this wkd. I'm a cathedral nerd. Here are some things that you might not notice about it – just from that one photo. THREAD. 1. You can see straight down the nave to the apse. No medieval English cathedral has that.

I will be speaking at the Azure Cosmos DB Global User Group on December 10th about performance tuning for @azurecosmosdb.com Please use the following link to register now. #AzureCosmosDB #MvpBuzz www.meetup.com/azure-cosmos...

I am once again in CDG and ONCE AGAIN something completely stupid is keeping me from making my connection. This time they won't let us leave the jet way after getting off the plane. No explanation given.

Yes everyone should! 🙂

Join me today for my session, Build High Perf AI Apps using OpenAI & Cosmos DB Learn how vectors work, query 100B vectors in < 50ms, semantic caching and how to build massively scalable RAG Pattern applications. Today at 17:00 in K2. #ESPC24 www.sharepointeurope.com/events/build...

Ooh! Azure Cognitive Services Translator is FREE for 2M characters a month? ok ok... this gives me zero excuses to not set up a GitHub action to add machine-generated translations to my applications. I'm going to use this action from @davidpine.bsky.social to start: github.com/IEvangelist/...

Oh hell. I just realized I flew to Europe and neglected to bring both my power pack for all my equipment and my power adapter.

Made it through CDG. I really dislike this airport but it does smell nice in places.

CDG is the worst airport in the world. Maybe Newark is worse... No, CDG. I'm sure of it.

Flying to Stockholm for #ESPC24 to talk about how to build massively scalable Gen-AI applications using @AzureCosmosDB.com. If you're going, comme check out my talk on Tuesday.

Major update to our @azurecosmosdb.com Copilot C# sample app. Added... Semantic Kernel Cosmos vector search Better token management New full-text and hybrid search features. Aspire integration. Other refinements as well. github.com/AzureCosmosD...

This feels like Ballmer's take on Apple iStore 20 years ago.

Oh this is awesome. I was running out of Post-it Notes jotting these down 🙂

I left #msignite early last week due to a bad wind storm here in Seattle. No power for four days. Lots of down trees. Here's just a few. Many got much worse and still people in my neighborhood without power nearly 6 days later. So inviting some over for dinner and to do laundry.

Bluesky banned Andrew Tate in less than 24 hours. SMITE!

Working on a databases starter pack: go.bsky.app/7mG8msu

If you need some non-election material to distract you, Leslie Lamport just dropped a new book on TLA+ lamport.azurewebsites.net/tla/science-...

Come see our session today with Toyota on how they built their durable multi-agent AI in Azure. It's pretty cool what they've built. I'm also going to show what a Semantic Cache can do for your customer facing Gen-AI apps 9:45 am - Room W187 #MSIgnite ignite.microsoft.com/en-US/sessio...

Cool vantage point to see the show floor at #MSIgnite

The biggie! GA of vector search, plus new Full Text Search and Hybrid search capabilities in #AzureCosmosDB #MSIgnite: devblogs.microsoft.com/cosmosdb/new...

THANK YOU @deck.blue. Feels like going home to have this experience again!!!

Hello, Bluesky users! I curate and maintain list of resources on testing distributed systems. You might have seen it before. It's a good one, if I may say so myself. asatarin.github.io/testing-dist...

Might as well join in on creating starter packs. Developer conferences! go.bsky.app/TZoPif2 #dotnet #java #azure

Rehearsal for my session with Toyota in their durable multi-agent AI system they built using Azure Cosmos DB Be sure to check out BRK117 on Wednesday at #MSIgnite

Things all getting set up for tomorrow. #MSIgnite

We got swag! 😎 At #MSIgnite and want “extra exclusive swag? Find a PeerSpot rep near our Azure Cosmos DB booth, give a review of Cosmos, and we’ll gift you earbuds!

Great video to get you running fast using Cosmos. Don't assume that 20 years of using SQL means you don't need an intro. Scale out NoSQL databases are different. SOME things that are ok for RDBMS are anti patterns here.

5am workout to get my energy and start #MSIgnite right.

Played tourist today here in Chicago. Tomorrow, rehearsals and, you know, work. #MSIgnite

Giving @blueark.app a try here. Thanks @scott.hanselman.com

I've been using Bogus for years to create synthetic datasets. Turns out gpt-4o is ever better at it once you get the prompts dialed in. Created a product catalog generator in Python using it. Generates vectors too. Going to keep adding more. github.com/AzureCosmosD...

Join me at #MSIGNITE next week to discover how Toyota Motor Corporation is revolutionizing car design with a multi-agent AI system powered by #AzureCosmosDB and #AzureOpenAIService. ignite.microsoft.com/en-US/sessio...

Did you know that we tons of Gen-AI Samples using Azure Cosmos DB? For instance, our solution accelerator for how to build your own production-ready copilot in .NET 8, w/ AKS or ACA and Semantic Kernel. github.com/Azure/BuildY...
