oh hey there welcome to react cosmos db
my name is Burke and and in this course
we're gonna build a complete application
using React, Node, Express and Cosmos DB
now what is Cosmos DB? Cosmos DB is a
brand-new NoSQL database from
Microsoft Azure well not actually
brand-new it's been running Microsoft's
Internet services worldwide for the last
few years so it's built for scale and
it's built for speed in fact it's the
first database that's built with
single-digit millisecond response times
anywhere in the world so let's take a
look at the app that we're gonna be
building we're gonna be building an
application that allows us to track our
favorite heroes now why would we do that
because heroes are awesome we'll look at
what it takes to build the front-end with
react and then how to build an API with
Node and Express connect that to Cosmos
DB and then connect the react portion to
the server portion we'll also look at
how we can scale Cosmos DB using point
and click and then how we can deploy
this whole application to the Internet
so everyone can track their favorite
heroes because what else would you do
with your free time so thanks so much
for joining me for react Cosmos DB I'm
glad you're here let's get started
