Announcing the Public Preview of Integrated Embeddings in Azure Cosmos DB: Build AI Apps With Embeddings That Stay in Sync
AI applications built on Azure Cosmos DB depend on embeddings for grounded results. Keeping them in sync with your data is the hard part: it means building and operating a separate data pipeline to track changes, call an embedding model, and write the results back to Azure Cosmos DB. In practice, that pipeline also has to handle failures and retries, throttling, scaling, and monitoring as your data and traffic grow. Integrated Embeddings in Azure Cosmos DB, now in Public Preview, removes that heavy lifting. Azure Cosmos DB automatically generates and maintains the embeddings for you as items are written and upda...
Introducing OmniVec: An Open-Source Embedding Platform for AI Apps on Azure
Today we are open-sourcing OmniVec, a platform for building and operating the embedding pipelines that keep the vector representation of your operational data in sync as it changes. You register data sources, embedding model(s), vector stores (destination), and OmniVec does the rest: initial backfill, change tracking, model invocation to geenrate, and writing them back to your vector store. We are shipping this with support for Azure Cosmos DB, PostgreSQL, SQL Server (source and destination), and Azure Blob Storage (destination). You deploy OmniVec in your own Azure subscription, and use the web UI, CLI, or the ...
Azure Cosmos DB All Versions and Deletes Change Feed Mode is Now Generally Available

With public preview, we are expanding this capability to give you even more control and confidence when managing you...
Announcing the Public Preview of the Azure Cosmos DB Cost Estimator for NoSQL
Today, we're thrilled to announce the public preview of the Azure Cosmos DB Cost Estimator, a new sizing and pricing experience that takes developers from a blank page to a defensible monthly cost estimate in minutes. Sizing an Azure Cosmos DB workload has always been one of the first questions a team has to answer, and historically one of the hardest. Every one of those decisions changes the number, and most teams need that number before they've written a single line of code. AI workloads have made this harder, not easier. RAG pipelines, AI chat sessions, vector embeddi...
Announcing Public Preview of Distributed Transactions in Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL
In modern cloud-native applications, correctness is often hardest to maintain at the exact moment a workflow crosses boundaries. A checkout flow writes an order in one place; decrements inventory in another and emits an audit event somewhere else. A money movement workflow debits one account, credits another, and records the transfer for compliance. An AI workflow updates state across multiple services while coordinating retries, handoffs, and downstream actions. Each step is individually straightforward. Keeping the entire workflow correct under partial failures, concurrent updates, retries, and regional events ...
From Intent to Insight: AI Meets Azure Cosmos DB in VS Code (Public Preview)
The Problem Every Developer Knows Too Well You're building a feature. You know exactly what data you need all orders from the last week over $500, grouped by region. The logic is clear in your head. But between you and that data sits a query language, a documentation tab (or three), and fifteen minutes of trial and error before you get the syntax right. Now multiply that across a team. New developers ramping up on Cosmos DB spend days learning query patterns. Senior developers’ context-switch between writing application logic and debugging queries. Product managers wait for data answers that a developer mus...
Azure Cosmos DB Agent Kit now battle tested for GA
Back in January, we shipped the Azure Cosmos DB Agent kit in preview with 45 rules and a hypothesis: if we package Azure Cosmos DB expertise into a format that AI coding agents understand, developers will stop making the same expensive mistakes.
