How we build a globally distributed database team
The Edstellar DATABASE ENGINEERING Capability Model
Diagnose
We assess your current databases, latency needs, and availability targets to find where a globally distributed NoSQL service fits your roadmap.
Standardize
Teams define partition key conventions, indexing defaults, and request-unit budgets so every container ships with predictable performance and cost.
Practice
Learners provision accounts, model documents, and tune throughput in hands-on labs that mirror your production workloads and tooling.
Measure
We review lab outcomes and diagnostic data together, checking that teams can read throttling signals and act on them before users notice.
Scale
Graduates replicate the reference architecture across regions and workloads, with runbooks and review checklists that travel with the team.

Program Overview: What is Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB?
Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB is Edstellar's instructor-led program for developers and data engineers building globally distributed applications on Azure. It is designed for teams already shipping cloud applications, and covers the Cosmos DB resource model, partitioning, throughput design, multi-API data modeling, and global distribution. Participants finish able to design Cosmos DB databases that scale worldwide without surprise costs.
Training is lab-driven from the start, with participants provisioning real Cosmos DB accounts and loading them with data. Each module pairs guided instruction with hands-on labs in partition design, multi-API modeling, global distribution, and performance tuning. Instructors review throughput choices and partition strategies, correcting the expensive mistakes before production does. The program closes with a capstone where participants build and defend a production-grade global Cosmos DB solution.
Teams new to Cosmos DB usually pick bad partition keys, overprovision request units, and discover the cost model the hard way. This program teaches them to model for their actual access patterns, size throughput deliberately, and secure and operate the database like production. The result is predictable performance at global scale and a bill that matches the plan.
Everything ends with the production-grade global solution capstone: a multi-region Cosmos DB deployment with a modeled schema, tuned throughput, security controls, and a cost justification, presented to the class as a ready-to-ship design.
Across six instructor-led modules, your team learns the resource model, consistency levels, partitioning strategy, multi-API data modeling, global distribution, security, and day-to-day operations. Every concept is reinforced with guided hands-on labs, so learners leave with working containers, tested failover drills, and a capstone solution they can map to their own roadmap.
