As the demand for modern, scalable, and responsive applications continues to rise, building reactive applications has become an increasingly popular trend in recent years. Reactive systems are designed to react to events and changes in the system in a timely, consistent, and fault-tolerant manner. These systems often use event-driven architectures, asynchronous programming models, and distributed data stores to achieve their goals.<\/p>\n

One of the most popular distributed data stores is Azure Cosmos DB, a planet-scale NoSQL database service that provides global distribution, fast reads and writes, and guaranteed low latency. Azure Cosmos DB supports various APIs, including SQL, MongoDB, Cassandra, and Gremlin, making it an ideal choice for creating reactive applications that can scale horizontally.<\/p>\n

In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of building a reactive application with Azure Cosmos DB. We will use Azure Functions, a serverless compute service, to create the application logic and connect it to a Cosmos DB instance using the SQL API. We will also use Azure Event Grid, a fully managed event routing service, to handle events and trigger the reactive functions. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a fully functional reactive application that can scale with the demand.<\/p>\n
