So, as someone who was in the midst of planning a migration of a multi-billion $ revenue platform to using CosmosDB...
Alternatives? LOL
Basically just looking for geo-redundant, high read & write throughput. Our intention was to leverage Azure Event Grid/Kafka Connect to have event streaming used to coordinate writes between Redis (cache), Cosmos (transactional DB), and our systems of record (legacy). Majority of read/writes would occur via our API, but some would occur via the systems of record, hence the use of a log-based architecture.
