Python API with Azure Cosmos DB

Requirements

• Platform: x86-64, Linux/WSL
• Programming Language: Python 3
• Terraform: For provisioning Azure resources
• Azure Account: Access to Azure Subscription

Allocate resources

The script up provisions Azure resources by applying our Terraform script.

Configure Cosmos DB

Env file

After resources have been provisioned, one has to create a file named .env_cosmosdb in the root of this project which contains necessary information in order to access our newly provisioned Cosmos DB account such as connection string, database and container name. These fields will be mapped to our cosmos config.

Connection string

The connection string may be retrieved from Azure at Settings->Keys for your Cosmos DB account.

Running API

python -m uvicorn app.main:app --reload

Deallocate resources

The script down removes provisioned Azure resources running terraform destroy.

Postman collection

A collection of sample request has been included under the postman directory.
