If you are building anything in AI right now, you need to pay attention to this. I recently sat down with Kirill Gavrylyuk, VP of Azure Cosmos DB, Microsoft on The Ravit Show, and one thing was very clear. The biggest challenge in AI today is not just models. It is the data layer. We talked about where things are actually breaking. Teams are building AI apps, but they struggle with memory, real-time data, and systems that need to scale globally. This is exactly where Cosmos DB is becoming critical.

What stood out to me is how practical this is getting. This is not about concepts anymore. It is about how real teams are building AI agents, how they manage state and memory, and how they design systems that actually work in production.

That is why Cosmos DB Conf 2026 next week matters.

This is not a theory-heavy event. It is focused on what is actually working. Real use cases, real architectures, real lessons. You will hear how teams are building RAG systems, scaling applications, and handling performance and cost in the real world.

Also, it is completely free. Which honestly makes it a no-brainer.

And you do not just watch. The Skills Challenge gives you a way to actually build and apply what you learn.

I will be covering this live on April 28 and sharing the key takeaways.

If you are serious about AI, data, or building systems that scale, this is worth your time.
