Question:
You are developing an application that requires the efficient and rapid addition of a large number of items using Azure Cosmos DB. Which of the following practices can be employed to optimize performance for this use case?
Answer:
Setting EnableContentResponseOnWrite to false for workloads with heavy create/write payloads and excluding unused paths from indexing can improve performance by eliminating the return of created or updated resources to the SDK and facilitating faster writes, respectively, benefiting write-heavy workloads.
Using FeedIterator can improve performance when reading multiple pages of query results, but it doesn't directly optimize write-heavy workloads.
Using PartitionKey for point read can reduce the Request Unit (RU) charge and improve performance for read-heavy workloads, but it doesn't directly optimize write-heavy workloads.
