Introducing the native Confluent Cloud connector experience in Azure Cosmos DB. You can now discover and create connectors from your Cosmos DB account in the Azure portal, with guided resource selection and validation.
Send Cosmos DB changes to Kafka for downstream consumers, or receive Kafka records into Cosmos DB as application-ready views. Change feed remains the foundation for database changes; Confluent Cloud adds an independent event layer for processing and replay.

From an empty folder to a working AI agent in minutes.
create-cosmos-agent gives you a TypeScript starter with memory, tenant isolation, citations, approvals, tests, diagnostics, and a path to Azure Cosmos DB.
Start with one command:
npx create-cosmos-agent@latest bootstrap my-agent --yes

Solo developer? RBAC still matters.
For Azure Cosmos DB, it means fewer secrets to maintain and giving your app only the permissions it actually needs.
Sudhanshu Khera and Iria Osara explain the practical setup:

Azure Cosmos DB Shell is now available directly in the Azure portal.
From Data Explorer, developers can open a connected shell to navigate databases and containers, run NoSQL queries, inspect schema and configuration, check permissions, and make targeted changes without setting up a separate terminal connection.

Migrating Elasticsearch mappings to Azure Cosmos DB isn’t a line-by-line conversion.
Madeline Egan shows how to translate mapping intent into Azure Cosmos DB indexing, full-text, vector, and computed-property configuration.

AI agents don't stop after the prompt. Behind every completed report, presentation, or analysis is a series of reads, writes, decisions, and tool calls — all drawing on the same database capacity.
Learn how Genspark uses Azure Cosmos DB Global Secondary Indexes to separate read-heavy background workloads from live agent traffic, keeping sessions responsive without building a replication pipeline.
