CosmosDb is the "planet scale" document storage (I love that term) schema-less (NoSQL) system that is offered by Microsoft Azure. It offers guaranteed performance based on how much throughput you select when provisioning it. This is measured using "Request Units" (RU's). It aims to offer virtually unlimited scalability and throughput through the use of partitioned collections spread across a series of high performance storage hardware (SSD's).

The Consumerisation of Artificial Intelligence
We live in very exciting times. Computing capabilities have increased exponentially in the last two centuries to allow us to easily utilise highly complex artificial intelligence functionality today. It all began with the first mechanical computer in the early 19th century by Charles Babbage. The concepts and work that resulted from that were iterated upon, which enabled the invention of the first programmable digital computer in the 1940s. Fast forward 70 years, and Artificial Intelligence is evolving into something that people can easily use, without having a degree in mathematics, access to enormous amounts of processing hardware or access to enormous amount of data.
