Primary database modelDocument store
Relational DBMS
Document storeSearch engineRelational DBMS infocolumn orientedRelational DBMS
Secondary database modelsTime Series DBMS infousing the Manticore Columnar LibraryDocument store infoIf a column is of type dynamic docs.microsoft.com/­en-us/­azure/­kusto/­query/­scalar-data-types/­dynamic then it's possible to add arbitrary JSON documents in this cell
Event Store infothis is the general usage pattern at Microsoft. Billing, Logs, Telemetry events are stored in ADX and the state of an individual entity is defined by the arg_max(timestamps)
