Why

I am consistently on the look out for a better DB solution for my projects. I have tried several, while some have worked, I have hit limitations on each one I have tried. I came across using Cosmos DB with Entity Framework. Since Microsoft added a free tier for Cosmos I decided to give it a try.

Getting Started

1. Clone this repository

   git clone https://github.com/CodingWithDavid/CosmosWithEntityFramework
   cd CosmosWithEntityFramework

2. Open in Visual Studio or Visual Code a. With Visual Code you will need to install the C# extensions

3. Press F5

What's in the App

1. Creating a Cosmos DB through Entity Framework
2. Using the Azure Cosmos DB local Emulator
3. Adding records to the database
4. Added new entities to the database with out having to change the schema
