Azure Cosmos DB vs Mongoose: What are the differences?
Developers describe Azure Cosmos DB as "A fully-managed, globally distributed NoSQL database service". Azure DocumentDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service built for fast and predictable performance, high availability, elastic scaling, global distribution, and ease of development. On the other hand, Mongoose is detailed as "MongoDB object modeling designed to work in an asynchronous environment". Let's face it, writing MongoDB validation, casting and business logic boilerplate is a drag. That's why we wrote Mongoose. Mongoose provides a straight-forward, schema-based solution to modeling your application data and includes built-in type casting, validation, query building, business logic hooks and more, out of the box.
Azure Cosmos DB can be classified as a tool in the "NoSQL Database as a Service" category, while Mongoose is grouped under "Object Document Mapper (ODM)".
"Best-of-breed NoSQL features" is the top reason why over 13 developers like Azure Cosmos DB, while over 14 developers mention "Well documented" as the leading cause for choosing Mongoose.
Mongoose is an open source tool with 18.8K GitHub stars and 2.62K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Mongoose's open source repository on GitHub.
According to the StackShare community, Mongoose has a broader approval, being mentioned in 85 company stacks & 88 developers stacks; compared to Azure Cosmos DB, which is listed in 24 company stacks and 23 developer stacks.
