Modern applications generate enormous volumes of data across globally distributed environments—but processing all of it centrally can lead to sky-high network costs and serious latency issues. In this episode of Azure Cosmos DB TV, host Mark Brown is joined by David Aronchick, CEO of Expanso, to showcase a breakthrough approach to this challenge.
Watch as they demo a live deployment of Expanso’s edge-native distributed processing framework across 1,000 spot nodes in five Azure regions—paired with the global scalability of Azure Cosmos DB. The result? Processing 50 million records in under a minute with massive reductions in network traffic and high-throughput ingestion into Cosmos DB.
💡 Learn how Expanso orchestrates lightweight agents to intelligently aggregate data at the edge—before sending clean, structured data to Azure Cosmos DB for global-scale storage and real-time analytics.
🔍 In this demo, you'll see:
• Edge-to-cloud processing architecture in action
• Real-time distributed execution across 5 Azure regions
• How to reduce network costs by 85% with localized transformations
• Azure Cosmos DB autoscale and region-based partitioning in a live scenario
• A full run-through of edge data aggregation, ingestion, and querying
Whether you're building distributed systems, working on edge AI, or looking to optimize your ingestion pipeline—this session is packed with insights.
