Cosmos

What is Cosmos?

Cosmos is a platform designed to simplify building decarbonization compliance by assisting building managers in tracking emissions, identifying reduction opportunities, and staying up-to-date with regulations. Traditional compliance methods are manual, time-consuming, and costly, involving 40-60 hours and $5,000-$10,000 per building annually for hiring an energy consultant. However, Cosmos automates benchmarking by allowing users to upload utility bills for automatic analysis using advanced technologies like machine learning and OCR. This streamlines the process, saving time and ensuring accurate emissions tracking and reporting.

2. Create a Database: Within your Cosmos DB account, select "New Database" and define the database name and throughput.

3. Add a Collection: In the created database, click on "New Collection" to add a collection. Enter the collection ID, storage capacity, partition key, and indexing policy.

4. Development Tools: Use SDKs provided by Azure Cosmos to interact with your Cosmos DB resources. Choose from various SDKs for languages like .NET, Java, Python, and more.

5. Data Modeling: Design your data model based on the application requirements. Define the data structure, relationships, and indexing to optimize query performance.

6. Querying Data: Use SQL-like queries to retrieve, manipulate, and analyze data stored in Cosmos DB. Leverage functions and operators for complex querying.

7. Scalability Options: Explore partitioning strategies to distribute data efficiently and achieve horizontal scalability. Configure throughput settings based on workload demands.

8. Monitoring and Optimization: Monitor the performance of your Cosmos DB account using Azure Portal metrics. Optimize queries, indexing, and throughput for improved efficiency.

9. Security Measures: Implement Azure security features like firewall rules, encryption at rest, role-based access control (RBAC), and virtual network integration to secure your Cosmos resources.

10. Backup and Restore: Set up automated backups to protect your data against unexpected events. Configure backup policies and procedures for seamless data recovery.

By following these steps, you can effectively utilize Azure Cosmos DB for scalable and high-performance database operations to meet your application’s needs.
