- <100ms to batch
- 200+ connectors
- Managed data pipelines



Azure Cosmos DB connector details
The Azure Cosmos DB connector captures documents from your Cosmos DB collections into Estuary collections. It supports both real-time streaming via change streams and batch modes for collections that don’t support change streams.
- Supports multiple capture modes: Change Stream Incremental (real-time), Batch Snapshot, and Batch Incremental
- Automatically detects time series collections and uses optimal cursor fields for efficient polling
- Captures inserts, updates, and deletes when using change streams
- Batch modes enable flexible scheduled scans for collections without change stream support
- Works securely within Estuary’s Private and BYOC environments for compliance and governance
💡 Tip: For best performance, ensure your cursor field (such as _id or timeField) is indexed to optimize incremental captures.
How to connect Azure Cosmos DB to your destination in 3 easy steps
- 1
Connect Azure Cosmos DB as your data source
Securely connect Azure Cosmos DB and choose the objects, tables, or collections you need to sync.
- 2
Prepare and transform your data
Apply transformations and schema mapping as data moves whether you are streaming in real time or loading in batches.
- 3
Deliver to your destination
Continuously or periodically deliver your data to the destination you choose, based on the capabilities and configuration of your pipeline.
Trusted by data teams worldwide
All data connections are fully encrypted in transit and at rest. Estuary also supports private cloud and BYOC deployments for maximum security and compliance.

HIGH THROUGHPUT
Distributed, event-driven architecture scales for demanding data workloads.
DURABLE COLLECTIONS
Store data as it moves so you can transform, replay, and deliver it downstream.
FLEXIBLE LATENCY
From <100ms CDC and real-time streaming to scheduled batch, depending on connector capabilities.
From <100ms to batch
Estuary supports CDC, real-time streaming, incremental syncs, and scheduled batch across its connector ecosystem. Capture data from Azure Cosmos DB using the cadence supported by the connector, then transform and deliver it to the destinations your team uses.
- Connect Azure Cosmos DB to warehouses, databases, data lakes, search platforms, and event systems through Estuary-supported destinations.
- Capture once and reuse Azure Cosmos DB data across transformations and multiple downstream destinations without rebuilding source extraction.
