Azure DocumentDB – Book Companion Repository

This repository contains runnable examples, scripts, and reference material for the book "Azure DocumentDB".

Each folder maps directly to a chapter in the book and contains practical, hands-on examples that complement the concepts discussed.

• Additional chapter folders will be added progressively

Prerequisites

• Docker & Docker Compose
• Node.js 18+ or Python 3.9+
• Basic familiarity with MongoDB-style APIs

Operating System Compatibility

This repository is operating system–agnostic.

All examples have been tested on:

• Windows (via Docker Desktop)

Because DocumentDB OSS is run using Docker, the underlying host OS does not affect the behavior of the examples.
