If you work around developer tools, this is worth a look.
Sajeetharan Sinnathurai covers how MCP could make AI-assisted workflows feel less like stitching together prompts and more like using software that actually understands the job.

Spring AI 2.0 is GA.
Theo van Kraay explores the new vendor-maintained Azure Cosmos DB modules for vector search, persistent chat memory, RAG, and multi-agent Java applications.

AI and agentic workloads can generate a lot of database activity—and unnecessary cost.
These 7 practical tips show how to reduce Azure Cosmos DB costs through better partitioning, query design, indexing, throughput choices, and vector search architecture.

The partition key is the most important design decision in Azure Cosmos DB. Choose poorly and performance suffers as data grows.
Manohari Jayachandran explains how to reason about it, using a blog's own Posts data as the example.

Most RAG retrieves blindly. Agentic RAG retrieves when it should — and finds what matters. 🧠
Yohan Lasorsa (Principal Developer Advocate, Microsoft) extends a working AI agent with:
• Azure Cosmos DB hybrid search (vector + full-text)
• Agent-decided retrieval

Giving an app access to Azure Cosmos DB comes down to three questions:
Who → managed identity
What → role
Where → scope
This guide explains data-plane RBAC, built-in roles, and how to replace keys with DefaultAzureCredential.

Need off-site, immutable backups for #AzureCosmosDB for compliance? Azure Backup's new vaulted backup preview stores copies in a separate vault with RBAC, soft delete, and long-term retention policies. Different model than built-in replication.

RU climbing, latency unstable — sound familiar? 📺
Anurag Dutt diagnoses a real Azure Cosmos DB workload: hot partitions, cross-partition queries, over-indexing, bad throughput.
@Azure metrics + diagnostics, not guesswork.

One command gives GitHub Copilot CLI expert-level Azure Cosmos DB infrastructure knowledge:
npx skills add AzureCosmosDB/cosmosdb-agent-kit
After that, point Copilot at a Terraform or Bicep file and ask it to review for multi-region setup, autoscale vs. fixed throughput, backup configuration, partition key strategy — it actually knows the difference. Sajeetharan Sinnathurai wrote the install guide and a solid set of example prompts. 🛠

Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL is schemaless, which makes it a natural fit for Go apps that work with JSON documents.
This quickstart covers item creation with upsert, point reads by ID and partition key, and cross-partition queries — all using the azcosmos package, with a real containerized sample app you can deploy and pull apart.
