What you'll learn

Tailwind Traders is a large retail corporation with a dangerous single point of failure: sales, fulfillment, monitoring, and telemetry data is centralized across its online and brick and mortar outlets. We review structured databases, unstructured data, real-time data, file storage considerations, and share tips on balancing performance, cost, and operational impacts. In this session, learn how Tailwind Traders created a flexible data strategy using multiple Azure services, such as Azure SQL, Azure Search, the Azure Cosmos DB API for MongoDB, the Gremlin API for Cosmos DB, and more – and how to overcome common challenges and find the right storage option.
