About the Author
Riccardo Becker works full time as a principal IT architect for CGI in the Netherlands. He holds several certifications and his background in computing goes way back to 1998, when he started working with good old Visual Basic 5.0 (or was it 6.0?). Ever since, he has fulfilled several roles, such as a developer, lead developer, architect, project leader, practice manager. Recently, he decided to accept the role of a principal IT architect where he focuses on innovation, cutting-edge technology, and specifically on Microsoft Azure, the Internet of Things, and cloud computing in general.
In 2007, he joined the Microsoft LEAP program where he got a peek at the move Microsoft was about to make on their road to the cloud. Pat Helland gave him that insight, and since the first release of Microsoft Azure on PDC 2008, he started to focus on it, keeping track of the progress and the maturity of the platform. In the past few years, he has also done a lot of work on incubation with his employer, raising awareness of cloud computing in general and Microsoft Azure in particular.
I would like to thank all my colleagues who have helped me on various subjects inside the world of Azure. Special thanks go to Rémon ter Haar and Juan Carlos Sánchez who were patient enough to review my chapters. Thanks Rémon and Juan!
I would also like to thank the folks from Packt Publishing who helped me stay on track and on schedule despite some bummers and some changes that I made to the original outline.
Special thanks to my employer CGI for giving me all the opportunities and interesting projects that have helped me in realizing this book. Thanks to my daily job and the ability to focus on the subjects, I have come to the point of having enough knowledge to write this book.
This is my second published book, since I have already published Windows Azure Programming Patterns for Start-ups, also with the help of Packt Publishing.

Preface
In August 2014, Microsoft announced the preview of their DocumentDB service offering. DocumentDB is a NoSQL database that meets the requirements of today's applications that evolve at a higher pace, including modifications to the data model. DocumentDB covers all this by offering a schema-free document database that offers flexibility, scalability, automated indexing, and a mature range of querying possibilities. Recently, Microsoft announced support for geospatial indexing and querying, opening a whole new range of possibilities.
Setting an example, Microsoft utilizes DocumentDB in its renewed http://www.msn.com, servicing 450 million unique monthly visitors. 25 percent of these visitors have their own personalized data and this data is services from DocumentDB.
DocumentDB greatly enhances the flexibility of your evolving applications and offers a rich querying environment for any kind of data that you store.
This book covers all the concepts and possibilities of DocumentDB by covering the theory with lots of examples in every chapter. This book is linear and every chapter builds on the knowledge of the last. For the more experienced users, chapters can also be read individually and in any order.
By the end of this book, you will be able to use DocumentDB in your own daily work and benefit from best practices.
What this book covers
Chapter 1, Getting Started with DocumentDB, covers the basics of DocumentDB. It explores the data model and compares DocumentDB with other NoSQL technologies. It also outlines the pricing model of DocumentDB. By the end of this chapter, we will learn how to set up a DocumentDB environment and how to prepare Visual Studio 2015 to start building solutions using DocumentDB.
Chapter 2, Setting up and Managing Your Database, provides detailed information on how to set up, maintain, and manage your DocumentDB. It also covers how to monitor your DocumentDB and, based on monitoring results, reconfigure DocumentDB.
Chapter 3, Basic Querying, provides an insight into the basic querying options for DocumentDB. It covers how to create, update, read, and delete documents from your DocumentDB in the most basic form.
Chapter 4, Advanced Querying, provides an insight into all the possibilities in the SQL grammar that is available for DocumentDB.
Chapter 5, Using REST to Access Your Database, discusses how to use DocumentDB using the open REST protocol. It also covers how to use JavaScript to work with DocumentDB and how to authenticate and execute queries.
Chapter 6, Using Node.js to Access Your Database, provides a detailed description of how to use DocumentDB features with Node.js
Chapter 7, Advanced Techniques, covers indexes and how to use them effectively. It also covers how to measure the performance of our database and use partitioning techniques.
Chapter 8, Putting Your Database at the Heart of Azure Solutions, describes patterns that can be applied to your Azure solution, collaborating with DocumentDB. It also covers some patterns and how to integrate DocumentDB inside your current Azure solution by replacing some of the current data repositories, which will be moved to DocumentDB.
