See how Azure Cosmos DB protects your mission-critical workloads when traffic spikes. In this demo, we walk through a simple web application that sends controlled request rates to a Cosmos DB account and visualizes request throughput, RU consumption, accepted vs. throttled operations, and the impact of low-priority surges.

You'll learn:
• How request throttling behaves without priority-based execution
• What happens when low-priority traffic spikes
• How enabling priority-based execution ensures high-priority operations stay smooth
• How RU consumption and provisioned throughput affect performance

Watch the full walkthrough to understand how priority-based execution helps maintain reliability—even during unexpected bursts of activity.
