CosmosDb and Client Performance
CosmosDb is the "planet scale" document storage (I love that term) schema-less (NoSQL) system that is offered by Microsoft Azure.

Getting better performance in web apps with a few lines of script
We had a situation where a web application was utilising near 100% of CPU all the time under light load and it was proving very hard to reduce this significantly through code optimisation. We were performance testing and profiling, but only seeing marginal gains.
