Azure Cosmos DB
Nice PickDevelopers should use Azure Cosmos DB when building globally distributed applications that require low-latency access to data across multiple regions, such as IoT platforms, gaming backends, or e-commerce systems
Pros
- +It is ideal for scenarios needing flexible schema support, horizontal scaling, and multiple consistency models, making it suitable for modern cloud-native applications with high availability requirements
- +Related to: azure, nosql
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
MongoDB
MongoDB is widely used in the industry and worth learning
Pros
- +Widely used in the industry
- +Related to: mongoose, nodejs
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Azure Cosmos DB if: You want it is ideal for scenarios needing flexible schema support, horizontal scaling, and multiple consistency models, making it suitable for modern cloud-native applications with high availability requirements and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use MongoDB if: You prioritize widely used in the industry over what Azure Cosmos DB offers.
