Capture Changed Data From your Cosmos DB analytical store (Preview)
Introduction
Data stored in Azure Cosmos DB is often used for analytical purposes. Cosmos DB provides a rich set of analytical capabilities like indexing, query performance and scale-out options, making it an ideal data store for analytical purposes. In addition, Azure Cosmos DB provides the ability to capture changes to data stored in an analytical store for downstream applications. This blog post will discuss the capability to capture changes from an Azure Cosmos DB analytical store.
What is an analytical store?
An analytical store is a data store optimized for analytics and business intelligence applications. It is designed to enable fast and efficient retrieval of data, as well as provide the ability to quickly analyze the data. This data store is typically used in scenarios where data needs to be analyzed quickly, such as in a BI or analytics application.
What is Azure Cosmos DB?
Azure Cosmos DB is a globally distributed, multi-model database service that supports document, key-value, graph, and columnar data models. It is designed to provide low latency, high throughput, and elastic scalability. It also provides a rich set of features such as automatic indexing, query performance, and scale-out options, making it an ideal data store for analytical purposes.
What is the “Capture Changes” feature in Azure Cosmos DB?
The “Capture Changes” feature in Azure Cosmos DB is a feature that enables applications to track changes to data stored in an analytical store. This feature provides the ability to capture changes to data stored in an analytical store in near real-time. This feature can be used to track changes to data, such as new or updated records, as they occur in an analytical store.
How does the “Capture Changes” feature work?
The “Capture Changes” feature works by capturing changes to data stored in an analytical store and storing them in an Azure Cosmos DB Change Feed. The Change Feed is a change log that stores all the changes that have occurred in an analytical store. This change log can then be used by applications to keep track of changes to data in an analytical store. The Change Feed can also be used to trigger downstream applications when changes occur in an analytical store.
What are the benefits of using the “Capture Changes” feature?
The “Capture Changes” feature provides the ability to track changes to data stored in an analytical store in near real-time. This enables applications to be notified of changes to data as they occur, allowing them to take action on those changes. Additionally, this feature can be used to trigger downstream applications when changes occur in an analytical store.
Conclusion
Azure Cosmos DB provides a powerful way to capture changes to data stored in an analytical store. This feature enables applications to track changes to data in an analytical store in near real-time, and can be used to trigger downstream applications when changes occur. This feature is a valuable tool for applications that need to track changes to data stored in an analytical store.
