Some architectures with Cosmos DB and Azure Functions

Add more security to an Azure CosmosDB Account.

W e can access programmatically to Azure Cosmos DB resources to create, query, and delete databases, document collections, and documents via REST API. To perform operations on Azure Cosmos DB resources, you can send HTTPS requests with a selected method: GET, POST, PUT, or DELETE to an CosmosDB endpoint.  Frequently we build architecture with centralized access to a persistence layer, then we won't let other applications access directly to this layer. Suppose we have the following hypothetical scenario (see Figure 1): Figure 1. Hypothetical Scenario Only WEB API Service with IP1 is allowed to establish connections with CosmosDB EndPoint. The others elements showed as Application are not allowed. By default we have in our CosmosDB resource the following configuration (see Figure 2) in Firewall and Virtual Networks option. Figure 2. Default Configuration To show you how this feature works, we are going to create a WEP API with a single function (r

Querying CosmosDB. Part 3

Hi guys !!! We continue with "Querying CosmosDB" series. You can read previous parts in Part1 and Part 2 . Now we added event notes to some documents. It's means some speakers added short notes or tags to theirs events. You can download a new version of our JSON Example ( JSON Example 2 ) Show me please !! Ok. Fine !! Retrieve a list of all events with notes. Query SELECT c.event_name, c.speaker, c.event_notes FROM c where IS_DEFINED(c.event_notes) Results I don't want all notes, just with 'pool' word. Query SELECT c.speaker, c.event_name, c.event_notes FROM c JOIN notes IN c.event_notes where IS_DEFINED(c.event_notes) AND CONTAINS(notes,"pool") Results I don't care about event name or speakers. Let me list just notes!!! Query SELECT notes FROM c JOIN notes IN c.event_notes Results Please just a list, not object list!!! Query SELECT VALUE notes FROM c JOIN notes IN c.

Querying CosmosDB. Part 2

Hi!!! We will continue to play a little with the same  JSON Example  in  Part 1 We will try to do queries a little more complicated. Total amount of time (in minutes) of laboratory in particular event. Query SELECT VALUE SUM(act.duration) FROM c JOIN act IN c.activities WHERE act.type=”lab” AND c.event_name= “CosmosDB Conf” Results List activities from specific type and from specific event Query SELECT VALUE act FROM c JOIN act IN c.activities WHERE act.type=”conference” AND c.event_name= “CosmosDB Conf” Results Get activities where duration is more than 30 minutes Query SELECT VALUE act FROM c JOIN act IN c.activities WHERE act.duration>30 Results Same as previous but bring me more information for each document Query SELECT VALUE { “id”:c.id, “event”:c.event_name, “speaker”:c.speaker, “country”:c.event_country, “activity”:act} FROM c JOIN act IN c.activities WHERE act.duration>30 and act.type=”lab” Results In case you have more

Querying CosmosDB. Part 1

Hi CosmosDB Community !!! I'd like to contribute with some posts about how to query Cosmos DB Collection with SQL API. Suppose we have a speaker list of differents events around a whole world. The link above represent speaker list example. Example1.json For all examples we will use Data Explore in Azure Portal. Anyway, you can use any API in any supported programming language to write your queries. We are not using Modeling data techniques or witting same data in different ways to avoid cross partition queries. The main objective of the post is how to use built-in functions and operators in CosmosDB SQL API. I'd like to list all events from Hassan Arteaga Rodríguez  Query SELECT * FROM c where c.speaker = "Hassan Arteaga Rodriguez" Results I need to list all events from MEXICO. Not all fields Query SELECT c.speaker, c.event_name,c.init_date,c.end_date FROM c where c.event_country = "MEXICO" Results

Message Queue + Azure Functions + CosmosDB. A perfect trio !!!

Ok !! It's not about SEX, it's about something they name AZURE. Seriously, I'll asume in this short article, that you have some kind of experience with azure. Suppose you have a heavy load. Incoming data come from some entity(application) that send, with high frequency, messages to some queue in Azure. Also you need analyze incoming data and apply some logic before insert data in your persistence layer. It's a complicated task ? Actually it's a simple task !!! Step  1. Create storage account.  Step 2. Create Queue Step 3.  CosmosDB Resource Let's asume we already have Data Base and Collection "READY" in CosmosDB Step 4. Create Azure Function Application Step 5 Create Azure Function.  In this step we will see how to bind Message Queue and  CosmosDB collection inside Azure Function. We will use template for Queue Trigger. Define name and input bind. Remember this Azure function will listen a queue for

Awesome !!!
