Hi,

I got recently interested in distributed systems and Azure Cosmos DB in particular.
While studying for the DP-420 exam I got acquainted with the standard channels (Azure Cosmos DB Twitter, LiveTv, blog, YouTube etc.) and those are all great - they helped me a lot for the exam.

But I'd like to learn more. I was wondering if someone would be able to point me to some more advanced resources related to Azure Cosmos DB.

Just to illustrate what I have in mind, I am looking for more topics related to architecture and design of Azure Cosmos DB.
I liked the GitHub repo with TLA+ specifications on Consistency levels and papers from Dharma Shukla et. al here and Markus Kuppe et. al here.

Does something come to mind? Something like a curated list of papers, white papers, workshop videos etc..

Thank you very much for response.
M.

    @Martin Hornáček here is the blog on partition key you can refer to
    https://parveensingh.com/cosmos-db-parition-keys/
    I find this article very good as it explains physical partitions in relation to how cosmos DB scales
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/scaling-provisioned-throughput-best-practices

    Also the following video Better understanding database throughput and partitioning in Azure Cosmos DB - Episode 38 - YouTube) In the video, PM Deborah Chen, walks through what happens during partition splits.
