Understanding the Integration
This page demonstrates how you can use Azure Functions to interact with Cosmos DB. Bindings and triggers allow you to define the flow of data between your function and your database, simplifying development and providing a robust solution for event-driven architectures.
Bindings
Bindings provide a declarative way to define the connection between your function and Cosmos DB. They handle tasks like authentication, schema mapping, and data transformation.
Triggers
Triggers initiate the execution of your function. Common triggers for Cosmos DB include HTTP triggers, Timer triggers, and Event triggers.
Example Scenario: Updating a Document
Imagine a scenario where an HTTP trigger receives data, and your function updates a specific document in your Cosmos DB container. This is where bindings and triggers shine, automating the entire process.
