Microsoft Agents Storage - Cosmos DB

👁 PyPI version

Azure Cosmos DB storage integration for Microsoft 365 Agents SDK. This library provides enterprise-grade persistent storage for conversation state, user data, and custom agent information using Azure Cosmos DB's globally distributed, multi-model database service.

This library implements the storage interface for the Microsoft 365 Agents SDK using Azure Cosmos DB as the backend. It provides automatic partitioning, global distribution, and low-latency access to your agent data. Perfect for production deployments requiring high availability, scalability, and multi-region support.

What is this?

This library is part of the Microsoft 365 Agents SDK for Python - a comprehensive framework for building enterprise-grade conversational AI agents. The SDK enables developers to create intelligent agents that work across multiple platforms including Microsoft Teams, M365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, and web chat, with support for third-party integrations like Slack, Facebook Messenger, and Twilio.

Why Cosmos DB?

• 🌍 Global distribution with multi-region writes
• ⚡ Single-digit millisecond latency
• 📈 Automatic and instant scalability
• 🔄 Multiple consistency models
• 💪 99.999% availability SLA

Installation

pipinstallmicrosoft-agents-storage-cosmos

Environment Setup

Local Development with Cosmos DB Emulator

Install and run the Azure Cosmos DB Emulator for local testing:

Download: Azure Cosmos DB Emulator

Best Practices

1. Use Managed Identity in Production - Avoid storing auth keys in code or environment variables
2. Initialize Once - Call storage.initialize() during app startup, not per request
3. Batch Operations - Read/write multiple items together when possible
4. Monitor RU Consumption - Use Azure Monitor to track Request Units usage
5. Set Appropriate Throughput - Start with 400 RU/s, scale up based on metrics
6. Use Session Consistency - Default consistency level for most scenarios
7. Implement Retry Logic - Handle transient failures with exponential backoff
8. Partition Wisely - Current implementation uses /id partitioning (automatic)
9. Enable Diagnostics - Configure Azure diagnostic logs for troubleshooting
10. Test with Emulator - Use local emulator for development and testing

Key Classes Reference

• CosmosDBStorage - Main storage implementation using Azure Cosmos DB
