The Azure Cosmos DB API for MongoDB is a compatibility LAYER that allows applications to easily and transparently communicate with the native Azure Cosmos DB DATABASE engine by using existing, community-supported Apache MongoDB APIs and DRIVERS. Developers can now use existing MongoDB tool chains and skills to build applications that take advantage of Azure Cosmos DB. Developers benefit from the unique capabilities of Azure Cosmos DB, which include auto-indexing, BACKUP MAINTENANCE, financially backed service level agreements (SLAs), and so on.
