Ignite Microsoft has pushed out Azure Synapse Link for Cosmos DB to general availability in an effort to bring its transactional NoSQL database closer to the analytics workhorse data warehouse.
Teased in May last year, Microsoft said the link would comprise of two main components.
Firstly, a Cosmos DB would house a column-oriented analytical store within containers in addition to the existing row-oriented transactional store. The analytical store is fully isolated from the transactional store such that queries over the analytical store have no impact on your transactional workloads, developers Ramnandan Krishnamurthy and Sri Chintala said in a blog post last year.

2021’s Ignite shows off new Cosmos DB features
Microsoft’s second virtual Ignite conference is promoting new Azure data services, including major upgrades to its planet-scale distributed database.
At the heart of Azure is a set of foundational services. They’re the technologies Microsoft uses to build its platform, giving it the tools to deliver reliable, scalable applications, and they’re the first to be deployed in any new Azure data center or region. Many of them never get to leave the background, but those that do are powerful, cloud-native, distributed-computing tools that can help you build and run massive applications that can run at global scale across regions, scaling to millions of users and petabytes of data.
