Web application development with Node.js and Express using DocumentDB

This sample shows you how to use the Microsoft Azure DocumentDB service to store and access data from a Node.js Express application hosted on Azure Websites.

For a complete end-to-end walk-through of creating this application, please refer to the full tutorial on the Azure documentation page

Running this sample

1. Deploy the arm template in arm/template.json to azure

It will deploy the following resources

• CosmosDB
• Azure Function
• Logic App (unfortunately the Twitter connector cannot be deployed by ARM yet - therefore it does not work)
• App service
• Application Insights
• Search service
• Text Analytics Cognitive Service
• DocumentDb Connection, AppInsights configuration, Cognitive Services access key, Search Admin Keys inside the app service and function appsettings
• Code from github to the dashboard and the functions

Open issues:

• Search Indexer fails to deploy
• Twitter Connector not possible to deploy
