Getting Started with Cosmos DB + EF Core
summary
Shows wiring Entity Framework Core to Azure Cosmos DB using the EF Core provider and demos a simple blog (Post/Author/Category) where EF writes three documents per aggregate until container names are overridden. Uses the portal QuickStart, the Cosmos DB Emulator (Windows) and the data migration tool to export JSON. Demonstrates setting container names per DbSet (including a reflection trick to map every DbSet), explains five consistency levels, and claims one migration handled 10× throughput while cutting cost roughly in half.
