Azure Synapse is the new Generation of SQL DW (Azure SQL Data Warehouse), that is launched in the past year In November 2019 the First announced for Azure SQL Synapse was in Microsoft Ignite 2019, With Azure Synapse you can bring together cloud data warehousing and big data analytics into a single service platform, Azure Synapse is massively parallel processing (MPP) Engine. Microsoft Added on it many features, With Azure, Synapse Compute is separate from storage, this means you can scale compute independently for the data in your System (APP), With Azure synapse, you can bring the relational Data and Non-relational data together in one place and easily you can do your query and your analytics on a huge amount of information, Azure Synapse build for a massive parallel query for Analytics not for transaction database, Azure Synapse uses Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 for more information About Azure Data Lake Gen2 Check this Post, Azure Synapse Support (Apache Spark integration, Power BI, Azure ML), Also you can take a look to this demo with Rohan Kumar this demo is part from Microsoft Ignite 2019 Keynote and you can Follow Rohan Posts from here
Azure Cosmos DB Global data distribution Architecture
In my first article in Azure Cosmos DB, we talked about What is Cosmos DB and How to provisions it, then in the Second article we talked about Partitioning Architecture in Azure Cosmos DB. And today we will complete our learning to understand What is global distribution in Azure Cosmos DB? For more information about my Azure articles check this link
When we say global distribution you Should think Automatically in Cosmos DB because it is the most solution in the market provide this feature global distribution, But why global distribution we should be interested in it for couple of reasons unlimited elastic write and read scalability, Yes Cosmos DB provides a solution to read and write option in multiple regions most of the databases solutions provide read scalability but in Azure Cosmos DB we have also write scalability.

One of the interesting feature announced in SQL Server 2016 and later to move your cold data to Azure and the data will be accessible from your APP with ZERO development cost no change in the APP level at all and no change on the Query level in SQL Server it is just configuration and implementation for Stretch Database from on-premises to Azure, IF you are DBA and you have tables with big size and you need to reduce it, if you have Cold data and the APP not accessing it frequently, If you need to reduce the backup and restore time at this time this feature for you.
Before starting on the benefits of this feature and How to implement it I highly recommend you to take a look into this page to learn more about Azure SQL https://lnkd.in/edn6nyY/#AzureSQL

Azure Cosmos Database Basics
Introduction
Azure Cosmos Database one of the Non-Relational NoSQL Database provided by Microsoft and we have another NoSQL Options in Azure like (Data Lake Storage Gen2, Blob Storage, Redis Cache, HBase in HDInsight), also Azure Cosmos Database Supported multiple API like (Core SQL, Mango DB, Cassandra, Graph, Azure Table) IF you need to learn more about this Point Check this Link Choose the appropriate API for Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Cosmos Database supported Write option in multiple regains in the same Database and the synchronizations tacking care about syncing the data. For more information about Azure Cosmos database, I highly recommend you to look into Microsoft Documentation

How to Provision Azure Cosmos DB Account
To Create Azure Cosmos Database we need to create First Database account and this like Database instance we can host on it multiple databases, then after this step, we need to create Container ID and this the Database name in this you can find below what is the information required when we need to create Azure Cosmos Database account and for how to do it check below 👇✅ GIF File ✅to know how you can do it and For more information Check this Article
- Account Name: it is like the instance name in SQL Server
- Notebooks: Jupyter notebook is an open-source web application that allows you to create and share documents it is like the Azure Data Studio Notebook For more information read this Article
- Location: The location you need to host on it your Azure Cosmos DB account
- Account Type: It is something like a definition or categorized, we can consider it like Azure Resource Tag.
- Geo-Redundancy: Enabling this Option automatically replicates your data to the region geo-paired with your current region you selected it. For more information about the Region geo-paired check this link Azure Regional Pairs IF you don’t enable it during the setup you can enable it after the configuration from the main overview of the Azure Cosmos Account
- Multi-region Write: Enable the write option on the Regions you selected it on the geo-redundancy this means If you need to enable the Multi Regions Write option you Should Enable the Geo-Redundancy option with it this option you can enable it after the installation from Replicate Data Globally option If you need to learn more about this option check this Link
