Title: Reducing database costs to $1 with data modeling, Azure Web PubSub, and the Cosmos serverless plan

Abstract: Reducing database costs to $1 with data modeling, Azure Web PubSub, and the Cosmos serverless plan

Many perceive Azure Cosmos DB as costly. Yet with proper data modeling and serverless capabilities, significant cost reductions are achievable. We'll explore a real-world case study where migration from a $280/month RDBMS setup to Cosmos DB reduced costs to under $1/month, improving end-user experience and reducing eCO₂ footprint.
