CosmosDB-FastAPI-Motor-Sample |
Azure Cosmos DB is a fully managed globally distributed, multi-model database service, transparently replicating your data across any number of Azure regions. You can elastically scale throughput and storage, and take advantage of fast, single-digit-millisecond data access using the API of your choice backed by 99.999 SLA. This sample shows you how to use the Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB API to store and access data from a Flask application.
-
Download the Azure Cosmos DB Emulator. The emulator is currently only supported on Windows. The sample shows how to use the sample with a production key from Azure, which can be done on any platform.
-
If you don’t already have Visual Studio Code installed, you can quickly install VS Code for your platform (Windows, Mac, Linux).
-
Be sure to add Python Language support by installing one of the popular Python extensions.
- Select an extension.
- Install the extension by typing
ext installinto the Command PaletteCtrl+Shift+P.
The examples in this document use Don Jayamanne's popular and full featured Python Extension.
Now let's clone the app, set the connection string, and run it.
- Open a git terminal window, such as git bash, and
cdto a working directory. - Clone this sample repository
- Run the following command to install the python modules.
pip install -r .\requirements.txt - Open the folder in Visual Studio Code or your IDE of choice.
This sample has been adopted from the CosmosDB-Flask-Mongo-Sample in the Azure-Samples repository as a proof-of-concept to utilize FastAPI with Motor to asynchronously work with CosmosDB.
So far, so good.
