azure-cosmos-java
Has your agent operate NoSQL databases in Azure Cosmos DB using Java. It's good for building applications that need fast data access anywhere in the world.
What it does
This tool helps developers connect and interact with Azure Cosmos DB, a NoSQL database from Microsoft. It allows you to create, read, update, and delete data, as well as perform queries.
When to use it
- ✓When building applications that need to store and retrieve data quickly and at scale.
- ✓When working with large amounts of data that don't fit a traditional database model.
- ✓To create global applications that need data access across different world regions.

Core Workflow
Create Database
// Sync
client.createDatabaseIfNotExists("myDatabase")
.map(response -> client.getDatabase(response.getProperties().getId()));
// Async with chaining
asyncClient.createDatabaseIfNotExists("myDatabase")
.map(response -> asyncClient.getDatabase(response.getProperties().getId()))
.subscribe(database -> System.out.println("Created: " + database.getId()));
Create Container
asyncClient.createDatabaseIfNotExists("myDatabase")
.flatMap(dbResponse -> {
String databaseId = dbResponse.getProperties().getId();
return asyncClient.getDatabase(databaseId)
.createContainerIfNotExists("myContainer", "/partitionKey")
.map(containerResponse -> asyncClient.getDatabase(databaseId)
.getContainer(containerResponse.getProperties().getId()));
})
.subscribe(container -> System.out.println("Container: " + container.getId()));
CRUD Operations
import com.azure.cosmos.models.PartitionKey;
CosmosAsyncContainer container = asyncClient
.getDatabase("myDatabase")
.getContainer("myContainer");
// Create
container.createItem(new User("1", "John Doe", "john@example.com"))
.flatMap(response -> {
System.out.println("Created: " + response.getItem());
// Read
return container.readItem(
response.getItem().getId(),
new PartitionKey(response.getItem().getId()),
User.class);
})
.flatMap(response -> {
System.out.println("Read: " + response.getItem());
// Update
User user = response.getItem();
user.setEmail("john.doe@example.com");
return container.replaceItem(
user,
user.getId(),
new PartitionKey(user.getId()));
})
.flatMap(response -> {
// Delete
return container.deleteItem(
response.getItem().getId(),
new PartitionKey(response.getItem().getId()));
})
.block();

FAQ
What is a NoSQL database?
A NoSQL database is a type of database that doesn't use the traditional format of tables with rows and columns. It's more flexible and can handle different data types and structures.
What are 'Request Units' (RUs)?
RUs are a measure of the 'cost' of an operation in Azure Cosmos DB. More complex operations or those using more resources consume more RUs.
Can I use this tool with other databases?
No, this tool is specific to Azure Cosmos DB, a database service from Microsoft.
