DescriptionDistributed and scalable native Graph DBMSFully managed big data interactive analytics platformA Wide Column Store for rapid development using massive semi-structured datasetsTime Series DBMS based on CassandraDistributed, fault tolerant key-value store
Primary database modelGraph DBMSRelational DBMS infocolumn orientedWide column storeTime Series DBMSKey-value store infowith links between data sets and object tags for the creation of secondary indexes
Secondary database modelsDocument 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)
